Including Progress Bar in multi-page forms.

The progress bar increases the accessibility of multi-page forms.


Progress bars can be essential in multi-page forms, as they are often more complex than other forms. A progress bar makes it easier for users to track their progress. It can have controls to jump to the different pages of the form.

The "Progress Bar for Calculated Fields Form" plugin allows you to insert a progress bar at the top of the forms.

This plugin comes with different progress bar alternatives.

The Basic Progress Bar:

The Pages Numbers bar. It includes an item per page. Where each item in the bar is a link to the corresponding page for easy navigation. In addition, the Pages Numbers bar highlights the item for the active page.

The "Pages Titles" bar allows you to enter a title or label per page, and use them to generate the progress bar. The form's pages are navigable from the progress bar by clicking on the labels. Similar to the "Pages Numbers" bar, the "Pages Titles" bar highlights the title corresponding to the active page.

The "Progess Bar for Calculated Fields Form" plugin includes a new section in the form's settings with many attributes to personalize the progress bars:
