Delete a step

Function: Delete a step​

This action allows you to remove a specific step from a Stepper UI element that you have placed on your application page. This is useful for dynamically adjusting multi-step processes, like forms or onboarding flows, based on user choices or business logic.

Input​

  • Stepper UI element: The visual Stepper component on your page from which you want to remove a step. This is a required input.
  • Step code: The unique identifier or code of the specific step you wish to delete from the Stepper. This is a required input.

Output​

This action does not produce a direct output value. Instead, it modifies the specified Stepper UI element on your page by removing the chosen step, which will be reflected visually to the user.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Delete a step" action in your application:

  1. Removing an optional step based on user preference:

    • Scenario: You have an onboarding process with an optional "Personalize Experience" step. If a user chooses to skip personalization, you want to remove this step from the Stepper.
    • Inputs:
      • Stepper UI element: OnboardingFlowStepper
      • Step code: PersonalizeExperience
    • Result: The "Personalize Experience" step is removed from the OnboardingFlowStepper on the user's screen, streamlining their onboarding.

  2. Dynamically adjusting a multi-stage form:

    • Scenario: You have an application form with a "Payment Details" step. If the user selects a "Free Tier" option earlier in the form, the payment step becomes irrelevant and should be removed.
    • Inputs:
      • Stepper UI element: ApplicationFormStepper
      • Step code: PaymentDetails
    • Result: The "Payment Details" step is automatically removed from the ApplicationFormStepper when the user chooses the free tier, preventing unnecessary steps.

  3. Streamlining a workflow based on business rules:

    • Scenario: In an internal approval workflow, a "Legal Review" step is only required for high-value requests. For standard requests, this step should be skipped.
    • Inputs:
      • Stepper UI element: ApprovalProcessStepper
      • Step code: LegalReview
    • Result: For standard requests, the "Legal Review" step is deleted from the ApprovalProcessStepper, making the approval process faster and more efficient.
