Progress bar in forms where client can show from week to week how much work they have done

Hi ​@Pongor Group Happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a good one. This is an interesting idea - I’ll share it with our product team!

Thank you Liz. Ideally I could use a progress bar and space for them to type the details as well. So to get written and visual reports of those who fill the forms in. We can live without this, but would be a great addition :)

Definitely agree, ​@Pongor Group ! I’ll add this use case to the feature request!

​@Liz ​@Pongor Group - here’s a variation on what someone poste about in the community a while back: 

• create your form with question groups for each week’s update ie
  • how far along in the work are you 10, 20, 30, percent compete (multiple choice) 
  • gimme your thoughts on this week’s work (text entry) 

on the question group header page, which shows up as a header on the screen, display the percent complete, by week, using combination of static text and hidden variables. trigger the user’s input with an email to them pointing to the form and passing a hidden variable ie hv_week = 2 & v_week1 = 60, for example. 

your  logic rules would have to be implemented to read the hidden variables and Go To the correct page - for example, based on the snippet just shown

• logic rule for hidden fields: if hv_week = 2 go to Q2_group page
  • the ‘header’ text you show would be something like the following:
    • Your progress: Week 1 = @v_week1  %
  • that would show static text of Week 1 = 60%  

the next week’s email would have hv_week = 3 & v_week1 = 60 and v_week2 =75

• logic rule on hidden variable to take you to question group 3 page and the header would include the percent completes for both weeks.. 

repeat this through each week… 

i have NOT don this myself, but i recall that it was a pretty interesting little approach to putting something in the ‘header’ of the question group that would show.. 

( ​@Liz - i can’t remember who posted this style of using the question group header as the progress bar but you might be able to have better ability to search the content than i do.. )

Thank you, ​@john.desborough ! Let us know how this goes, ​@Pongor Group !
