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.

=== 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. A more complex example that puts a spotlight on an element:
 
<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')
 
      .mandatory()
 
      .end()
 
  .step()
 
      .title('Step 2')
 
      .content('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr')
 
      .spotlight('#io-ox-topbar')
 
      .pointAt('.launchers-secondary')
 
      .mandatory()
 
      .beforeShow(function () {
 
          // do anything you want to customize the step
 
          console.log('before show', this);
 
      })
 
      .end()
 
  .start();
 
});
 
</pre>
