New Progress Indicator Step Collection
Overview
The Progress Indicator Step Collection simplifies the management of steps within your Salesforce screen flows, particularly when using the Avonni Progress Indicator component. By defining a centralized collection of progress steps, you can streamline the configuration of multiple progress indicators, ensure consistency, and improve the maintainability of your flows.
Key Benefits
Centralized Step Management: Define and manage a single source of truth for progress steps, eliminating redundant configuration across multiple components.
Enhanced Reusability: Apply the same progress step structure to various screens or flows, saving development time and effort.
Consistent User Experience: Maintain a uniform visual representation of progress across your application.
Simplified Maintenance: Update steps in one location, and changes automatically propagate to all linked Avonni Progress Indicator components.
How It Works
Drag and Drop: In Flow Builder, locate the Progress Indicator Step Collection in the Avonni Actions section and drag it onto your canvas (outside any specific screen element).
Define Progress Steps: Within the Action Collection's properties, configure the details for each step:
