Progress Chart
A progress widget helps track and display the progress of a activity or KPI towards the set goal over time. The progress chart offers a clear understanding of the target achieved over time, and a portion is left out. The progress widget can be in both linear and circular shapes, with the chart filling up proportionally with progress. A progress chart often compares two values- actual and target. Actual measures the current status or the amount of work that has been completed, and target is the goal or the total amount of work that needs to be completed.
Example Imagine you have a goal to read 100 pages of a book, with 40 pages read so far and 100 pages to read. The widget shows a bar or ring that’s 40% filled based on the progress widget type, indicating you’re 40% of the way to your goal.
