We currently have a page that has lots and lots of sections and have numerous problems with it and we’d like to simplify it.  I was thinking we’d break the sections up into tabs and use the tab container but then found that you can’t switch tabs with a button.  The idea is to have fast data entry so I’d like a button at the bottom of each section that will basically click the next tab and save what has been done so far. So, then I found WizardSteps, https://github.com/mendix/WizardSteps, but I cannot figure out how to even use them.  I am trying to follow the documentation and have created the necessary entities but cannot figure out how to add controls to the various steps.  Also, their documentation says you can’t move to the next tab via micro or nanoflows so I don’t think it would work anyway, even if I figured out how to use it.   This seems like such a basic feature but I cannot find a control that would allow a large amount of data entry to be broken up into steps and support a button that will move to the next step.  I could do various pages with buttons but that will likely lag too much between pages and I’m not sure I could get the “tabbed” look.   Ideas?  What am I missing?
