Progress Bar Field
The Progress Bar field lets you visually track progress directly on Trello cards. Instead of displaying a raw number, this field shows progress as a bar that fills as the value increases. This makes it easy to quickly see the status of work without opening the card.
Progress bars can represent things like task completion, checklist progress, milestones, or any metric that moves from a starting value toward completion.
How to add a progress bar field
- Open Amazing Fields Settings by clicking the Amazing Fields icon in the top-right corner of the board.
- Click the "Add" button.
- Choose "Progress Bar Field" under "Basic Fields."
This creates a progress bar with the default configuration showing progress from 0-100. You can adjust the settings later to match your workflow.
Progress bar field settings
Progress bars can be customized to match different types of data.
- Format: Choose whether the progress bar displays values from 0–100 or 0.0–1.0.
- Bar Style: Select from several visual styles or create custom progress stages.
- Min / Max: Define the range used to calculate the progress value.
- Width: Control how wide the progress bar appears on the card.
- Show Number: Choose whether to display the numeric value next to the bar.
Tip: Progress bars can be configured in many different ways. To explore what’s possible, create a board from the Amazing Fields Progress Bar Template, which includes several example configurations.
Many advanced designs use the “Custom Bar Stages” progress bar style. This allows you to use symbols, emojis, Unicode characters, and color rules to create custom progress indicators tailored to your workflow.
