  • Large and small steps are clickable, allowing a user to jump back to a completed step. Uncompleted steps are not clickable.
  • Determine the number of small steps that can fit comfortably in between large steps by considering the distance between large steps.
  • If there are too many small steps to fit comfortably between large steps, use the Without Small-Step Indicators variation.

Non-Interactive Small Steps

Use when small steps should not be clickable.

  • Applies #ababab to the inactive portion of the stepper progress bar and $mds-text-color-primary-on-dark to the inactive large-step labels to increase contrast against the background.
  • Use darker images, or add an overlay to the image to increase contrast between the background and the stepper.

Sizing only affects the label text size.

Responsiveness

Configure responsive breakpoint(s) in your stepper based on the number of steps, size of labels, and context in which your stepper is presented. When labels no longer fit comfortably, switch to the responsive variation, which shows only the label for the active step centered above the stepper.

Implementing Responsiveness

The stepper's responsive behavior can be implemented in any one of three ways.

In CSS with a media query

/* 735px is arbitrary, use what works best in your product */
@media screen and (min-width: 735px) {
    .mds-stepper__list-item-label {
        display: block;
    }

    .mds-stepper__active-step-summary {
        display: none;
    }
}

In SCSS with a mixin

See more mixin details.

// 683px is arbitrary, use what works best in your product
@include mds-stepper-wide-at(683px);

In Javascript by applying a class

/* Find a stepper and add the mds-stepper--wide class */
const stepper = document.querySelector('.mds-stepper');
stepper.classList.add('mds-stepper--wide');

Examples

Without Small Steps

An example of a workflow with 4 large steps and no small steps. The responsive variation is triggered at a breakpoint of 768px.

With Small Steps

Managed Portfolios features a workflow with 7 large steps, some with small steps. The responsive variation is triggered at a breakpoint of 960px.

Without Small-Step Indicators

Retirement Manager features a workflow with 4 large steps and small steps that vary in number based on the user. It does not use small-step indicators. The responsive variation is triggered at a breakpoint of 768px.

Back Continue

Use When

  • Requiring a user to complete a linear workflow that includes 3 to 7 large steps.
  • Presenting a multi-paged form or questionnaire that must be completed in a specific order.
  • Providing a user a sense of workflow complexity while focusing on tasks one at a time.

Don’t Use When

  • A workflow contains fewer than 3 or more than 7 large steps.

Visual Style

  • Always center a stepper above content.
  • Steppers automatically distribute large steps evenly within the horizontal space they are afforded.

Behaviors

  • Never allow a small or large step to be skipped.
  • Return to a previous step by clicking a label, or step, or offering a “Back” Secondary Button.
    • Once a user jumps to a previous step, they must continue in linear fashion from that point forward. They may not jump ahead to where they were. This ensures proper validation of each step in a workflow.
    • Remember information entered on completed steps.
  • Always use a Primary Button labelled “Continue” to progress to the next step and a Secondary Button labelled “Back” to move to the previous step.
    • Place buttons at the bottom of the page content.
    • When moving to the next or previous step, automatically scroll the page back up so the stepper is at the top of the viewport.
  • Avoid using page loads between steps, as this will conflict with the animation of the stepper.
  • Never allow a final large step to have small steps.
Do persist a large step‘s active state until all subsequent small steps are completed.
Do persist a large step‘s active state until all subsequent small steps are completed.
Don‘t switch a large step to the completed state until all subsequent small steps are completed.
Don‘t switch a large step to the completed state until all subsequent small steps are completed.

Editorial

  • Consider guidelines for Site Navigation, focusing on brevity and clarity.
  • Large steps are usually actions (“Confirm”) or thematic areas (“Accounts”).
Do aim for clarity over parity, blending verbs and nouns as needed.
Do aim for clarity over parity, blending verbs and nouns as needed.
  • If a large step has small steps, the large-step label should thematically represent the small steps contained. For example, under “Accounts” a user may be able to add a new account, edit an existing account, or simply view account details. The lowest common denominator is “Accounts.”
  • The final large step is the last task to complete in a workflow, such as “Finalize,” “Confirm,” or “Submit.”
  • Small steps are not labeled.
  • Engage your business partner and/or a Content Strategist to help determine the number of large steps needed and whether small steps are appropriate. Be sure to validate your assumptions with users, validating too whether the small steps are properly located.

 Outcome

mds-stepper--wide

mds-stepper

Hides the stepper summary label and reveals each of the large-step labels. Use to toggle the stepper‘s responsiveness to the viewport width.

mds-stepper__step--complete

mds-stepper__step

Renders the progress track and step indicator as complete.

mds-stepper__step--active

mds-stepper__step

Renders the step indicator and large-step label as active.

mds-stepper--light-labels

mds-stepper

Renders large-step labels with light text. Use on dark photographic backgrounds.

mds-stepper--no-small-step-indicators

mds-stepper

Suppresses small-step indicator dots.

mds-stepper--no-animation

mds-stepper

Prevents animation of the progress track.

mds-stepper--small

mds-stepper

Renders labels with small font size.

mds-stepper--medium

mds-stepper

Renders labels with medium font size.

Mixin Reference

@include mds-stepper-wide-at($screen-width, $selector: '.mds-stepper')

Use this mixin in your product to denote when you want the stepper to switch from narrow to wide displays. To switch your stepper to wide display at 683px, do the following:

@include mds-stepper-wide-at(683px);

If you need to target a specific stepper, you can also include the $selector argument. For example:

Stepper with ID: <div class="mds-stepper" id="my-special-stepper"... >

In your scss: @include mds-stepper-wide-at(683px, "#my-special-stepper");
