Can the progress bar be defined by # of pages instead of # of fields left?

    Hi - I'm using a progress bar on my form and it states how many fields are left in the entire form rather than how many pages you have left. Since some people won't be answering ALL fields, it is confusing and people think they haven't finished! Thanks for your advice.

    Hey Jill,

    Happy to assist you today,

    I would like to inform you that, you can set up our Progress Bar widget to only count required fields, so you would be able to set what fields are counted. On the other hand, you cannot set it up to show page numbers. As you mentioned all fields are not required so you can set up the required fields and that way your users will not how many required fields they need to fill up. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Thanks

    Hi Vick. Thanks for your response! The form we designed has different
    fields necessary for different types of respondents - so I will remove the
    progress bar and maybe spell out the pages (# and content type) at the
    beginning. Thanks again - Jill
