How to use Adalo's progress bar component?

Step 1: Open Your Adalo Project

First things first, open up the Adalo project where you want to add that nifty progress bar component.

Step 2: Add a New Screen or Select an Existing Screen

Head over to the screen where you want to show off the progress bar. You can either create a new screen by hitting the "+" button or just pick an existing one.

Step 3: Open the Components Menu

On the left side of the Adalo interface, find and click on the “Components” button to open up the components menu.

Step 4: Search for the Progress Bar

In the components menu, use the search bar at the top and type in "Progress Bar." This will filter the list and show you the Progress Bar component.

Step 5: Drag and Drop the Progress Bar

Now, just drag the Progress Bar component from the components menu and drop it onto your chosen screen.

Step 6: Configure the Progress Bar Properties

With the Progress Bar selected on your screen, the right-hand panel will show its properties. Here you can tweak several options:

  • Progress: Bind this to a numeric value that represents the current progress (e.g., a user's score out of 100).
  • Maximum Value: Set the maximum value for the Progress Bar. For example, if the progress is out of 100, this value should be 100.
  • Color: Pick a color for the filled portion of the Progress Bar.
  • Background Color: Set a background color for the unfilled portion of the Progress Bar.

Step 7: Bind Progress to a Data Source

If your Progress Bar's progress depends on external data, bind the Progress value to a data source. Click on the magic text icon (a database icon) next to the "Progress" property, and select the data field you want to use.

Step 8: Position and Resize the Progress Bar

Adjust the position and size of the Progress Bar on the screen by dragging its edges or using the position properties in the right-hand panel. Make sure it fits well within the design of your app.

Step 9: Save and Test

Save your changes and preview the app to test the behavior of the Progress Bar. Ensure that it accurately reflects the progress based on the data binding and user interactions.

Step 10: Adjust as Needed

If the Progress Bar isn't displaying as expected, go back to the editor to tweak the properties, binding, or design as needed. Keep refining until it looks and works just right.
