To support complex functionality, we have developed process flows that require the execution of several steps including tasks and calls to external connectors. The whole process takes some time, particularly due to the external HTTP calls which have to be made during the process.
It would be nice to be able to provide some feedback to the user with an indication of which action is being executed. This helps the user giving an idea about how long it might take before the whole process is finished.
This could be either
- a progress bar like the one available for tasks, its progress based simply on the count of how many steps are defined in the flow from start to end and which step is currently executing
- a pop-up showing a message like we see in many applications, its text providing information on the task that is active at any given moment
- or any other way of indicating progress in the execution of the process flow..
Ideally all of the above, and the developer would be able to choose the desired method of indicating progress and configure it to work at best with the rest of application.
