Circular Progress Builder

The Circular Progress Builder allows you to customize the progress indicator, including:

  • Defining color ranges to indicate progress.
  • Customize the size and width of the control.
  • Configure the start and end angle for the progress bar.
  • Add labels, units, and more.
  • Color - complete

    The color for the completed portion of the progress indicator. The color can be a single color (e.g. #834187) or a range of colors. A color range is specified as a CR-LF delimited list of pipe separated value-color pairs. Values that fall within a range will use the specified color. For example:

    20|red
    30|yellow
    green

    In the above example, values less than or equal to 20 will be red, between 20 and 30 yellow, and above 30 green.

    Use the Insert color... URL to insert a color using the Color Picker.
