How to setup progress bars for Trello

Amazing Fields for Trello allows you to create progress bars and even link them to checklists.

See progress bards in action: Create a board from the Amazing Fields Progress Bar Template.

Basic Progress Bar

Add a basic progress bar under "Basic Fields" in the add field menu.  

This will create a progress bar with the standard settings showing progress from a value of 0 to 100 in the standard style.  Click on the new progress bar in the settings panel to see the settings and adjust them for your needs.

  • Format: you can choose a progress bar showing percent with values from 0-100 or 0.0-1.0
  • Bar Style: select from a wide range of values or choose to set a custom style where you choose each stage yourself.  (see the template board for examples)
  • Min/Max: determine the range for the value you want the progress bar to show.
  • Width: how many characters wide should the progress bar be when shown on the card
  • Show Number: choose to show the number next to the bar or just the bar itself.

Advanced Progress Bars

There are a tremendous number of ways to configure progress bars.  The best way to see what is possible is to checkout the Amazing Fields Progress bar template.

The key behind all of these is to change the Progress Bar style setting to "Custom Bar Stages". Then you can use any symbols you want to show progress. By combining this with emojis, unicode, and background color condition settings you can create some very powerful and unique progress bar settings.
