Wizards and assistants

A Wizard or assistant is a software interface that leads a user through a proccess usimg specific instructions and dialog boxes. Wizards do things that could be accomplished without the wizard, but they usually make the tasks easier. In layman's terms, a wizard helps you do something in a program using prompts and directions. An example of a wizard is the graph wizard in MS Excell, which guides the user through choosing the type of graph, the data to be on the graph, and lets the user customize the graph.
