For Site Participants: Completing a Wizard
A wizard is a customized collection of instructions, forms, files, and other materials that guide you through an activity. You complete the wizard as you perform the various tasks or steps that make up the activity.
To complete a wizard, you access it online, follow its instructions, record information and attach requested materials, reflect on your activities, and receive feedback. Since wizards often guide you through activities that occur over a long period of time, you may need to access a wizard several times in order to complete it.
463 To access a wizard and complete it, access the Wizards tool and follow these steps:
1 If the Wizards home page is not displayed, click the Reset button.
2 Click the name of the wizard you want to work with.
Click the name to select this wizard.
The CLE displays the introductory screen for the wizard you chose.

The bottom section provides an opportunity for you to reflect on this activity and your experience of it.
3 To access linked web pages or attached files shown on this screen and in other parts of the wizard, click the appropriate URLs or file names.
