Get last step

Function: Get last step​

This action helps you identify the final step within a "Stepper" UI element. A Stepper is a visual component that guides users through a sequence of steps, often used for forms, onboarding processes, or multi-stage workflows. This action retrieves the unique numerical identifier (code) of the very last step in that sequence.

Input​

  • Stepper ui element: Specify the "Stepper ui element" from your application for which you wish to get the last step's numerical code. This is a required input.

Output​

  • Result: The name of the variable where the numerical code of the last step will be stored. By default, this variable is named NEXT_STEP.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Get last step" action in your no-code application:

Example 1: Displaying Progress in an Onboarding Flow​

Imagine you have an onboarding process with multiple steps, and you want to show users how many steps are left or what the final step is.

  • Inputs:
    • Stepper ui element: Onboarding_Stepper (referring to your onboarding UI component)
    • Result: LastOnboardingStepCode
  • Result: The variable LastOnboardingStepCode will now hold the numerical code of the final step in your Onboarding_Stepper, for example, 5. You can then use this number in a text field to display "You are on step X of 5" or "The final step is step 5."

Example 2: Dynamically Navigating to the End of a Multi-Stage Form​

You have a complex application form divided into several sections using a Stepper. You want to provide a "Skip to End" button that takes the user directly to the last step for review.

  • Inputs:
    • Stepper ui element: LoanApplication_Stepper
    • Result: FinalFormStep
  • Result: The variable FinalFormStep will store the numerical code of the last step in the LoanApplication_Stepper, for instance, 8. You can then use this FinalFormStep value with a "Go to Step" action to navigate the user directly to step 8 when they click the "Skip to End" button.

Example 3: Validating Completion of a Workflow​

In a project management application, you have a workflow Stepper for task completion. You want to check if a user has reached the final step of a specific task workflow.

  • Inputs:
    • Stepper ui element: TaskWorkflow_Stepper
    • Result: WorkflowEndStep
  • Result: The variable WorkflowEndStep will contain the numerical code of the last step in the TaskWorkflow_Stepper, for example, 3. You can then compare the user's current step with WorkflowEndStep to determine if they have completed the workflow, triggering an update to the task's status.
