UI Guidelines

All SAS Studio provided steps follow certain UI guidelines. To provide consistency across steps, including custom steps, it is highly recommended that custom step contributions follow these guidelines.

A good example of a custom step that follows these guidelines is the Sample controls custom step. You can view it in the Custom Step Designer by going to the Steps panel, clicking the New and sample custom steps button in that panel, and selecting Sample controls.

This opens the Custom Step Designer
