CMS: Adding and Setting Up a Progress Bar

Add a progress bar to show a visual representation of progress toward achieving a goal. You can use Velo coding or a CMS collection field to represent the progress value. For the target value, you can set a static value that doesn't change, or set a dynamic value with Velo or by connecting a collection field.   
Screenshot of a progress bar example.
Examples of using progress bars:
  • Show how many tasks are marked as 'done' on a to-do list.
  • Show the percentage of steps completed during an onboarding process. 
  • Show the amount of money raised towards a fundraising goal.
  • Show the number of people who have signed a petition that needs a certain number of votes.
Tip:
You can use Velo to update the progress bar's value without connecting to the CMS. To learn how, see Working with the progress bar API.
Before you begin:
Add the CMS to your site and create a collection that includes a 'Number' field type for your progress value. If you want to use a dynamic value for the target value, also add a 'Number' field that represents the target. 

To add and set up a progress bar:

  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Make sure you have enabled Velo in your editor: 
    1. Click Dev Mode at the top.
    2. Click Turn on Dev Mode. 
  3. Click Add Elements  on the left side of the editor.
  4. Click Interactive. 
  5. Click Progress Bar under Indicators. 
  6. Click and drag the progress bar of your choice onto the page. 
  7. Click Settings on the progress bar. 
  8. Enter a Label that lets visitors and screen readers know what the bar represents (e.g. "Progress toward goal")
  9. Choose whether to set the target value as a dynamic value or a static value:
