A labelled percentage from a real process. Learn when to use Progress Bar, follow a practical setup, and diagnose common problems.

2 min read · Updated 30 September 2026

Practice recipe based on public documentation; the Breakdance extension is not installed here.

What it does and when to use it

Displays a labelled value as a horizontal progress indicator. Use it for the specific job described below. If a simpler native element can deliver the same outcome, prefer the simpler structure and fewer competing styles.

Before you start

This is a Breakdance catalogue recipe for use with a compatible Breakdance Elements for Oxygen extension. It is not a guarantee of availability in your version. Check the installed element list and official reference before following the steps. Exact control labels can differ; this recipe has not been executed on this site.

Worked example: A labelled percentage from a real process

Scenario: A labelled percentage from a real process. The goal is a useful result on a real project, not a claim that this scenario was a completed client project.

  1. Choose a defined quantity, such as completion of a documented checklist.
  2. Display a numeric value and label beside the visual bar.
  3. Check zero, partial and complete states.

Expected result

You should have a labelled percentage from a real process. Verify the result on the frontend using the same content or object described in the steps. A correct builder preview alone does not establish that links, data or interactions work for visitors.

Troubleshooting

If the value is a subjective skill rating, explain its basis or use descriptive text. Avoid presenting arbitrary percentages as measured proficiency.

Checks before publishing

Use real text and assets rather than a perfect placeholder. Check a long label, narrow screen and empty-data state before publishing.

  • Compare desktop and narrow-screen layouts using actual content.
  • Follow every destination and operate interactive controls with a keyboard where applicable.
  • Check an empty or unavailable-data state when the element depends on a provider.

Official reference and version notes

Official Progress Bar reference provides the current provider information. This is independent, AI-assisted documentation on Benjamin Olsen’s website; examples are clearly identified as practice recipes.

Check extension element visibility in Oxygen. An element may be hidden where a native equivalent exists.
