Enter a "Step" value which is a whole number between 1 and 10.
This value specifies the hierarchy level of an object in the View
cluster. A header entry is step = 1, an object which depends directly
on a header object is step = 2, etc.
The step affects the subscreen layout. The short descriptions are
indented appropriately, and a leading arrow indicates the dependency.

"Step" field is not used and need not be filled. The message can be
ignored in this case.
