Progress bar
Turn on the progress bar and your respondents can see how far along they are. It's off by default.
- Open your form's Settings tab. If you're in the builder, click Customize, then Settings.
- Under General, turn on Progress bar, then click Save Changes.
How it fills
Your form gets one segment per page. A segment fills as the respondent answers that page's required questions. Optional questions don't count.
If one of your pages has no required questions, its segment is full as soon as the respondent reaches it. Questions hidden by your conditional logic don't count either.
Segments for pages nobody has reached yet stay empty. When a respondent goes back, the earlier segments keep what they had.
Where you won't see it
The bar doesn't show on the start page or after the form is submitted. It's hidden when you print the form.
In the builder canvas you'll see a simpler preview. There, a segment fills when you reach a page, whether or not you've answered anything.
You don't need a paid plan. It also works if your form has only one page: you get a single segment.
