Hi all I have a list of 30-40 errors and the matching steps to troubleshoot them. Hard coding the logic or placing that many buttons onto the landing page is impractical. This also carries heavy maintenance issues as the number of new errors will increase. The process in dev stage.  
Is it possible to have step navigation base on partial text input that matches step name? I image this to be into multiline widget or something else like it. I don’t have preference. I am using for best user experience and moderate burden of implementation. Maintenance will be the issue.  
Great many thanks

You can use transition to step by name.

If you don’t want to force the user to type in the whole name, you can make a table (or object list variable) with all step names, and filter this by user input.
