Definition: A wizard is a utility within an application to simplify a particular task.
For example, in Visual C++ the Appwizard makes it easy to create new projects and classes. Wizards usually consist of multiple pages linked by forward and backward arrows. As the steps on each page are completed, the user clicks the forward arrow to progress to the next step. At anytime, the user can go backwards one or more steps to change a previous decision then click forward several times. Eventually, the final step is completed and the task finished.
