geoWidgets UI Activity Pack adds a Progress Bar activity to support Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS® on both On-Premise and SaaS versions of Geocortex Workflow.
Digital Data Services, Inc. (DDS) is pleased to announce an update to our free geoWidgets UI Activity Pack for Geocortex Workflow 5. In this update, we released a Progress Bar activity to support Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS® on both On-Premise and SaaS versions of Geocortex Workflow.
Our initial release of the Progress Bar Modal only worked for Geocortex Viewer for HTML5. With some alterations, we are happy to release a Progress Bar Activity to work with Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS.
In a perfect world, running tasks in web GIS is instantaneous. The reality is certain tasks take time to complete. “The importance of percent-done progress indicators for computer-human interfaces” by Dr. Brad Meyers of the University of Toronto and “The Power of the Progress Bar” by Neil Patell cover the importance of providing feedback to users. The biggest benefits of a progress bar are:
The Progress Bar Modal activity displays a configurable dialog to display the status of extended processing tasks within web GIS. To get started, you will need subscriptions to the following on ArcGIS Marketplace:
To help you get started with the Progress Bar Modal activity, we created a sample Workflow. To copy the sample workflow to your Workflow Designer:
https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=190ef34ce1c9427da2421e9788bba9b7The sample Workflow executes a loop (Progress Bar Loop) to 50 iterations. The internal loop (Example Logic) should be replaced with the actual code you want to execute. It only exists to slow down the loop for the demo. While the example uses a Loop, you can also use a For Each by copying the contents of the Progress Bar Loop to your new control flow function.

We hope this Progress Bar Modal Workflow Activity is helpful and look forward to see how you use it in your web GIS applications.
