The Side Menu

The Account Wizard has dynamic side menu navigation. The sections displayed on the side menu are updated based on your selections on the Account Information screen.
There are two ways to navigate between the pages of the account wizard. You can either click on any side menu item to go directly to that page or use the Next and Previous buttons to navigate between the sections of the wizard.

Note:

A required field is identified when the field label is red. Required fields dynamically display based on your selections within the account wizard.
