1. A method operable with a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) device, wherein the SCS device comprises a plurality of electrodes implanted within the spinal column of the patient, the method comprising:
executing in the SCS device a stimulation program comprising a plurality of sub-programs thereby sequentially executing each of the sub-programs in a sequence, wherein each sub-program provides stimulation to a combination of one or more of the electrodes using different stimulation parameters;
displaying at an external system in communication with the SCS device an indication of the sub-program that is currently being executed;
displaying at least one option on the external system to allow the patient to
skip the currently-executed sub-program, or
delete the currently-executed sub-program from the stimulation program; and
receiving a selection from the patient of the at least one option, thereby causing the SCS device to execute a next sub-program in the sequence.
