Description Sebastian Davids CLA 2004-10-26 07:25:34 EDT
Provide an option to show an overview pane.

This should be placed to the left of the wizard page container.

The overview pane would contain an ordered list of the wizard page titles.

This helps users to determine which steps have been completed and which are
still ahead.

Some nice-to-haves:

Surface the option to the end user -- hide/show button.

A background image.

Page title is a link -> opens the corresponding page; pages not visited yet
should not be clickable -- switch from page six to one in one click instead of
five (Next button clicks).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
