The Progress Bar is also available as an Experience Cloud Component.
The Progress Bar component displays a task or process's progress. It typically consists of a horizontal bar filled to a certain extent, with the degree of filling representing the completion percentage. The Progress Bar component is often used to provide visual feedback to the user on the status of a task or process.
You have several options for how the progress bar displays its progress:
Mapped:
Directly link the progress bar to a single Salesforce field or variable.
This is ideal for simple scenarios where a single value represents progress (e.g., percentage complete, number of tasks finished).
Advanced (Formula):
Create a formula that calculates the progress value by combining multiple fields or variables.
This offers more flexibility, allowing you to factor in multiple criteria (e.g., average of multiple scores, weighted progress across different tasks).
Query:
Run a Salesforce query to fetch the progress value directly from your data.
This is useful for aggregating data across records (e.g., showing overall project completion based on the status of individual tasks). You can use functions like AVG or MAX within your query.
Example Scenarios
Sales Goal Progress:
Mapped: Link the bar to an "Amount Closed" field.
Advanced: Calculate progress based on "Amount Closed" divided by "Quota."
Query: Average the "Percent Complete" of all Opportunities in a specific stage.
Customer Satisfaction:
Mapped: Display the value from a "Customer Satisfaction Score" field.
Advanced: Combine multiple survey response fields to create a composite score.
Query: Find the average rating across all customer reviews for a product.
Choosing the Right Option
The best option for you depends on the complexity of your progress calculation and where your data resides. The Mapped option is quick and easy if you have a simple metric. For more complex calculations, use the Advanced formula builder. A Query provides the most flexibility if your data needs to be aggregated from multiple records.
Variant and Theme attributes define the appearance of the Progress Bar indicator. The Variant lets you choose from Base to Circular.
The theme attribute lets you define a specific theme for the Progress Theme. Styling settings for a theme can be overridden by using the Style Panel.
Using the attribute, an avatar can be added next to the Progress Bar, either on the left or right side. The avatar can be an icon from the Lightning Design System library or a custom image by uploading a custom image to the Image attribute.
No interactions are available.

Tip: Experiment with different styles to create a progress bar that visually integrates with the rest of your application
The Progress Indicator component lets you customize the appearance of your progress bar using gradients. Here's how:
Locate the 'Completed color' Setting: Find the "Bar" style section in the Style panel. You'll see the "Completed color" attribute.
Apply Your Gradient:
Gradient Angle: Choose the direction of your gradient.
Gradient Colors: Define the colors you want in your gradient.
Color Positions: Indicate where each color should start and stop using percentages (%).
Example: If you want a gradient that transitions from red (0%) to yellow (50%) to green (100%), you will set those colors at their corresponding percentage positions
