When to consider something else
- Tracking progress over an extended period of time: If the steps in a process span multiple interactions or an extended period of time then use the Process list component.
- Steps can be completed in any order: If steps can be completed in any order consider the Master/Detail screen pattern and provide status as to when each section is complete and when the overall process is complete.
- Checklist: The progress bar is not intended to handle a checklist.
Placement
- The progress bar should appear directly below the h1 title of the process and before the form itself.
