Numbered Steps Module

The Numbered Steps module sets the customer's expectations for how peak events work by presenting it in three steps: before, during, and after the event. The module also provides the customer with opportunities to learn more about the event or sign up for additional alerts. The module is located after the Welcome module, and before the Alerts Call to Action module.
