I have a sad F-ing life - Multi-Step Process Woes

[Jaymer]

what the hell am i doing sitting here on a friday night struggling with this damn multi-step process, trying to make a multi-page wizard?
The video is an unrealistic example - its a specific case with a 1-to-1 "interview" - i mean, ok its "realistic", but he has left out a lot if you're not going to do it that way.
might as well just shoot myself now.

In my scenario, I have a person registering for events.
each event has multiple LINEAR "steps".
its totally diff. than his 1-1 where there's always 1 interview per funeral ("case") and its Non-Linear.
(Maybe Vlad thinks Linear is easier - but there's no example setting up the steps - I can tell you, its confusing)

the documentation says refer to the video.
the video is made by the developer, so he gets it.
maybe Bruce gets it - cause he's smart.
but me, its damn confusing.

) Its not clear how the FINISH button will appear.
) I'm doing this on Mobile - and the pages keep "stacking" on each other. When you do a Next a few times, and then a Close, it just takes you back 1 screen - doesn't close.
) It doesn't mention a strategy for doing an example like mine. Whats the best way to handle the default Save & Close buttons - you don't need both? Do you even want your user to see "Save"?

I'll keep plugging away - seems like only 4 people have ever done this (vlad, funeral, BobK and me) and hopefully BobK can clear up this since he did Mobile... if I haven't put a bullet in my head yet.

PS _ BobK - you said you spent a lot of time getting it to look right on mobile. I With only 3 steps (and displaying the stepper) it looks fine - but you must mean if I get more steps than will fit across the top I'm going to have to abandon showing the step?

PPS _ apologies to any of you who had friends who were programmers and DID decide to put a bullet in their head

Thx mark,
since I'm linear and mobile, and thats what BobK did, lemme wait and see if he can help come Monday.
Appreciate it,
Jaymer...

In my other response, I was talking about 1 form with multiple sections and moving between sections using the wizard navigation type instead of the tabs. That is a totally different animal then the Multi-Step Process. Sorry jaymer

I have also tried to use the Multi-Step process in a different setting and was unable to figure out how to do it.
