# Phase 1 Steps

This phase covers the Seven step application wizard inside CERTInext.

When you log in to CERTInext and click "NEW CERTIFICATE" from the left-hand menu under Certificates, you will be taken through a series of 7 steps. Each step is shown as a numbered item in the left sidebar, so you always know where you are in the process.
