A step is a specific page within an app that is displayed to the user when the app is run. Only a single step can be viewed at a time. There are three types of steps:
- Regular steps contain a user defined arrangement of widgets that allow for many types of visualizations and interactions.
- Form steps only contain input widgets, and in an enforced column/row layout.
- Approval steps The same as a form step but it also contains an e-signature widget for approving the value captured by the approval step.
