The beauty of building your own apps in Notion is its flexibility. Not only in design and aesthetics, but in its function and features.
One common feature of any work-tracking app is a progress bar. Ideally, this will let you:
In this component, we'll walk through these use cases and a few others to help you quickly add progress bars to your own workspaces.
If you just want some Notion progress bar templates--hit 'Copy to Notion' when logged into your Pro Account on this page.
And if you'd like to see how to create your own Progress bars from scratch, check out the Scribe and steps below.
What are they, and how do they work, then? Progress bars are visual indicators of progress toward a goal. This could be a sales target, or a roll-up of tasks you’ve completed toward a given project.
Progress bars can visualize numbers toward a metric (e.g. 10 out of 100). But they can also be used to measure progress toward a 'date' or deadline.
In Notion, progress bars are straightforward to create and can be used for any of the above use cases.
In this component, we look at three different progress bars:
If you're tracking, say, sales goals or achievements in Notion, this is a good place to start.
Creating date progress bars is a little trickier than working with simple number properties.
For a click-by-click walk-through, I'd recommend taking a closer look at the second half of this Scribe.
You can also just hit 'Preview' on this components page to take a look inside a live example of the formulas used to achieve this deadline progress bar--and copy them across into your own setups.
Of course, if you're a Pro Access member you can also just duplicate the template with all the progress bars pre-made and ready to go.
If you want to track the progress of a task or project, this is a great way to do it.
And that's it! Something that would've been a relatively neat 2-hour coding challenge to create a 'to-do' app that rolls up tasks into projects and gives a progress bar is now completed in just a few clicks in Notion.
