Better than the OOTB 'Stage' in Salesforce Flow

My client and I looked at the Flow 'stage' indicator. Felt like it was lacking. I found this and it has a lot more capabilities than the other. I'm going to share it with my client this week. Thanks for creating it!

Great tool to have in the kit... needs to be responsive though.

This is a very nice implementation..easy to use and looks great. Only ONE flaw from my perspective so far...NOT RESPONSIVE for Mobile etc. If this would be added it would be a 5 Star from me.

Hi Don, thank you for the review! You make a fair point about responsiveness - some of the indicator types are less predictable on mobile. I wasn't planning any near-term updates to the LWC since the Flow product team has been launching indicator capabilities for screen flows in Spring '25, but I don't think they're planning on parity. So, that's just a long-winded way of saying this component may still have many years of relevance to customers, and I'll have to find some time to analyze the changes that are needed to address responsiveness. Thanks again for raising! If interested, here are the release notes for the native indicator that's new as of Spring '25: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_automate_flow_builder_guide_users_through_screen_flows_with_built_in_visual_progress_indicators.htm&release=254&type=5

Answering my own question here. I wrote small LWC to get the form factor. If its a Phone form factor then I set the Indicator Type to Bar(or you could do Horizontal) in my flow. I set a variable in Main flow and then passed through where needed as input vars then it was consistent.

Nice Idea but lacking on some key areas

1. I have a form I am recreating in Screen Flow with a lot of questions that I wanted to use this for. I created a variable that stored different step numbers and used that variable in the "Step Number" in the Dynamic Progress Bar component, but the component didn't react accordingly to when the formula was updated with a new value (Step Number X). 2. When using a ring type indicator, it didn't show the proper percentage in the middle despite the ring itself showing the right progression around the ring. I.e. The ring said "0%" but the progression of the ring was around 66%.

Absolutely useful product and Very intutive

Its very intutive and was working very well with Saleforce flow used Chevron and % complete and both worked as expected. Is there a way to make this component responsive to devices? When I tried the progress bar in iPhone and Andriod the flows that has the progress bar did not fit with in the screen.

I agree on need for responsive.

Very Useful

This is super useful. The only thing I am missing right now is that the user is able to click on the path and that I can then use it in the flow. My use case: I have build a flow similar to the standard path functionality as the standard path was too limited. The users sometimes need to skip 3 steps ahead and it would be nice if they could just click the status and I could use that information in the flow.

Hi Karoline, thank you for your feedback! Many people have made similar suggestions, but this is not a navigation component, only an indicator. This would be possible, but it would require someone to create their own modifications to the source code found (found here: https://github.com/SFDC-Assets/DynamicFlowProgress).

Progress Ring not showing percentage when it's in a different position

This is a great feature but we've found that it only shows the correct percentage in the ring if it's in the same component as the dynamic flow progress bar

Amazingly useful component for flow, a little surprised it doesn't seem to use stages resourc th

This is a fantastically useful component for flows and its great its available either package to use or open source. Also the demonstration flow and adoption of lwc. The only query I have about it is that as far as I can tell it doesn't seem to make use of the flow stages resources (https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_build_stages.htm&type=5) that I would have assumed would be a pretty natural thing for a component like this to do? Id be interested if there is a reason in terms of them not offering the needed functionality ( or of course could just be an issue of resource or timing). Regardless though 5/5 app!

Wonderfull Great

Hi Very thanks ! Just a question ! Indicator Type "horizontal" don't show label under the progressbar. it works only with vertical type ? Thanks

Sorry, I also meant to provide a link to the SLDS blueprint for Progress Indicator (the base version is what has been used for this component): https://www.lightningdesignsystem.com/components/progress-indicator

Hi Jérôme - you are correct, there is no label for the horizontal indicator. The horizontal indicator adheres to the Progress Indicator SLDS blueprint, which does not have a label (there is a tooltip option, but this is not part of the current component). Thanks for your feedback.

Great solution…one concern

I love having this in the toolbox. The one thing that keeps this below five stars for me: I use this in an experience cloud site and when the user clicks on the path the flow exits/starts over.

Hi Adam - well we passed our security review much faster than I expected, so the new version of the component is now live and available on the AppExchange. Your feedback was received and used to improve the component. To try it out, I would recommend verifying the new release in a sandbox prior to installing in production. Thanks again, hopefully this improve the utility of the component.

Hello Adam - thank you for your feedback! This issue was reported by some other customers in the Github repository and has been resolved in an upcoming release of the component. Please monitor the Github issue to know when the fix is pushed - and thanks again for feedback that has improved the component! https://github.com/SFDC-Assets/DynamicFlowProgress/issues/5

Great, when it works

This progress bar works really well for flows embedded within Salesforce screens. However, it does not work when the flow is embedded in a visual force page.

Hi Eloise! I appreciate your feedback, but the component is not tested for flows deployed in Visualforce pages since Flows are primarily deployed via standard or custom components (Aura and LWC). I would welcome some insights into your use case though - can you open a discussion in the Github repository with more detail? Thanks again! https://github.com/SFDC-Assets/DynamicFlowProgress/discussions
