Description
A step identifies a unit of action in a
procedure. If a finer level of granularity is
required for some steps, you can embed substeps in a
step. Embedded substeps contain
steps so that substeps can be nested to any
depth.
Processing expectations
Formatted as a displayed block. The steps are
almost always numbered.
