Hi all, is there anybody know if it is possible and how to build a document creation layout with a wizard behavior (multi page form) ?

Hi,

There is no builtin mechanism to do so, so this needs Java developments, but this can easily be achieved by handling the current layout(s) to display in a custom Seam component.

The creation page will have to be customized for your document type, and you'll need to handle previous/next buttons display and logics (as well as the final "save" button display) in the Seam component.

With the workflow routing engine, you can chain different UI panels to execute a route through several steps and display forms and actions for each node.

Thanks for answers. I found my inspiration in nuxeo addon nuxeo-template-rendering-web, in TemplateSource creation layout. There is a mechanism to define a "preset" and an "advanced" layout. I keep in mind your answers, they could be useful in the future.
