App Suite UI provides a simple but flexible framework to implement wizards and guided tours. The essence of  both a wizard and a tour is a set of steps the end-user walks through. Usually a step is a smaller modal popup.
Note: Open-Xchange is in the process of migrating all its technical documentation to a new and improved documentation system (documentation.open-xchange.com). Please note as the migration takes place more information will be available on the new system and less on this system. Thank you for your understanding during this period of transition.
 
=== Simple example ===
The starting point is the "Wizard" (or "Tour") class defined in io.ox/core/tk/wizard.js. A simple example:
<pre class="language-javascript">
require(['io.ox/core/tk/wizard'], function (Tour) {
  new Tour()
  .step()
      .title('Welcome')
      .content('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr')
      .end()
  .start();
});
</pre>
The function '''step()''' adds a new step. Each step is separate '''Backbone view''' instance (DisposableView to be more precise). The following function calls '''title()''' and '''content()''' both work on that view; '''end()''' just returns to the tour (same idea as in jQuery's end()). This allows long definition chains.
