What is a Progress Indicator?

When users interact with a product, they initiate a process that requires a specific time to show a response on the UI. A few examples include loading a web page, saving a document, downloading a file, etc.

Progress indicators inform users about the current state of the process, progress, and remaining time for completion.

UX designers define the behavior of progress indicators while designing a product. If not done properly, this can lead to an annoying user experience.

The users will not have a clue whether the action is being performed or not, they should wait on the screen or leave it.

Let’s discuss how progress indicators help users to be informed while working on a product.

Key Takeaways

  • The progress indicators enhance the user experience by providing feedback on an ongoing process in response to a user action.
