Previous

The Previous button navigates to the previous step in the task. This button is disabled for the first step. This button might also be disabled for the steps that follow the step where data has been committed to the database.

Next

The Next button navigates to the next step in the task. This button also acts as a validation point and prevents you from proceeding to the next step until the required criteria are met. This button is relabeled Finish when you reach the final step of the task.

Pause

The Pause button saves the task in its current stage and sends the task to your Inbox. You can launch the task later and resume from where you left off. You can set this option from User Preferences. From the application-level menu, choose Tools > User Preferences. The User Preferences screen appears. On the link bar, click Behavior. The Behavior form appears. Select the check box labeled, Prompt to Pause When a User Interrupts a Task button.

Cancel

The Cancel button deletes the task without saving any data, but in the case of a task that has been previously saved, restores it to its previous state. The Pause and Cancel buttons are enabled for all steps. An exception occurs when the data has already been committed, then the Cancel button is disabled for the last step.

Submit

The Submit button indicates that data will be written while in the middle of a task. This action means that some data is posted to the database rather than queued until the end of the task.
