Web Viewer Progress Indicators
A native FileMaker solution is certainly capable of creating progress bars. I've seen all kinds of solutions. From those using the text "pipe" character to those using repeating container fields with each stage of a growing, multi-colored progress bar.
Lately, I've been working on my Theme Library solution and I was reminded of a technique where I could use a web viewer to show the progress of a long process - in my case downloading and importing a file. This worked out perfect for my solution because I could simply open a new window and show an indeterminate progress spinner.
In this video, I present all the tools and knowledge to replicate this same feature into your own solutions. Enjoy the progress!
