Hi,

How to sync progress indicator of a progress bar when you dont know the time period for which the progress bar should be displayed?

I mean how do we divide the progress indicator to an unknown time period?

Thanks

Hi @KNara.2 

I use a strategy where the progress bar PB increases veeery slow - there is no relation to linked work in progress. When job is finished, I set PB to 100% from whatever % it is at. So, PB is very pessinmistic.

Or use a spinner so its prorgess agnostic
