How to show the progress of an action to the user

[Larguitto]

Hi. I´m using the countdown to update a table. This action takes a several seconds, 10-15 seconds, and I would like to know if it is possible to inform the user about the progress of the action using a progress bar.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Larguitto ,

It really depends on your action structure, it could be after several actions, update the bar, or need another index field to have indicator, after several indicator, update the bar.

the countdowns includes users in a field that is a relationship. But i don’t know how to make the progress bar

here an example of how to use it if you making a pizza delivery add To show the progress of an order on a pizza delivery app, you can add a progress bar with a number value that updates as the order progresses. Here’s an example of how you can do this:

1. Create a progress bar component on the customer’s screen. You can use Adalo’s built-in progress bar component, or you can create your own custom component using Adalo’s custom components feature.
2. Add a number value property to the progress bar component. This number value will represent the progress of the order, from 0% to 100%.
3. Create a timer or button that updates the number value property of the progress bar component. You can set this timer or button to trigger when the delivery driver starts driving to the customer’s location. For example, if you want to set the progress bar to 30% when the driver starts driving, you can set the timer or button to update the number value property to 30.
4. You can also add additional steps to the progress bar to show the customer how far along their order is. For example, you can set the progress bar to 60% when the order is being prepared, and 90% when the order is out for delivery
