SCS Events

Progress Bars

Progress Bars can be added to Events to indicate a numerical progression towards a goal.  The concept of a progress bar is nothing new and they can provide useful feedback for the users running your event.  For instance, lets say you plan on deploying 10 buoys off the back of the ship.  Every time a buoy is deployed you can increment a progress bar so users can see how many have gone over and how many are left to do.  

 

Progress Bars can also be embedded in buttons, this further visually relates progress with a specific action.  For instance, placing the above mentioned Progress Bar into a Manual Trigger named "Deploy Buoy" makes it easy to find and rather obvious what it's purpose is.

 

The Label you provide will show up as the tooltip for the Progress Bar

 

The Display Text will show up inside the Progress Bar to provide additional feedback to the user.

 

A Min value can be set, this is where the Progress Bar will start.

 

A Max value should be set, this is where the Progress Bar will end (100%).

 

You can orient the Progress Bar horizontally or vertically on the UI.

 

If you choose to embed the Progress Bar into a Manual Trigger then you must select that component here. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Progress Bars are incremented via the Progress Bar action inside Action Sequences.  

 

Below are some examples showing the same Progress Bar embedded in a Manual Trigger and with the two orientations.
