Understanding Workflow Activity Guides

Workflow activity guides are navigational aids for end users. A workflow activity guide integrates a single map into the related transactional pages. Although workflow activity guides can benefit all users, they are particularly appropriate for guiding untrained users through self-service transactions.

A workflow activity guide appears as a navigation bar across the top of a page. The bar displays each step that is involved in the activity. Clicking a step takes you to the page where you can complete the step; the navigation bar remains visible as you move from page to page.

Note:

The term activity guide can also refer to a navigational aid that is used within a workcenter. To avoid confusion, in the context of this documentation, we use the term workflow activity guide to refer to an activity guide that is specifically used for workflow.
