Beyond the ‘Next’-Button: Designing Dynamic & Interactive Screen Flows, Milan Bolland
Most Screen Flows are designed as linear wizards: a rigid sequence of “Next, Next, Finish.” But real work isn’t linear. Users need the flexibility to jump between tasks—like editing a specific Quote Line Item, then updating a Discount, without losing their place.
In this session, we will break the “Next” button habit. We will learn how to design “Flow Dashboards”—single-screen command centers that act like mini-apps.
We will explore the “Hub and Spoke” navigation pattern, using buttons and datatables to launch specific actions and return the user exactly where they left off. Stop building rigid wizards and start building interactive, non-linear experiences that your users will actually enjoy.
