There are 3 different levels when working with SCPM:

Workflow

The SCPM module differs from most other YaST2 modules. It is not just an configuration workflow, where you configure a service which is used at another place. In this module the user works with SCPM. Therefore it makes no sense jst to collect data, which will be written at the very end. All actions will be performed nearly immediately. There is just a Close button at the main dialog which triggers no additionally action.

When the module starts it will always show the dialog System Configuration Profile Management. This the main dialog to deal with SCPM. All other dialogs are 'expert' dialogs from which we return to the main dialog. These are:
