You have several options for how the progress bar displays its progress:
Determining Your Progress Bar's Value
You can set the value displayed by the Progress Bar component using one of the following methods:
Mapped
Directly link the progress bar's value to a single Salesforce field or a variable.
Simple scenarios where one value represents progress (e.g., a percentage field, number of tasks).
Advanced (Formula)
Define a custom formula to calculate the progress value, potentially combining multiple fields or variables.
Complex scenarios needing custom calculations or weighted progress across different criteria (e.g., average score, weighted tasks).
Query
Run a query to calculate or retrieve the progress value, often using aggregate functions (AVG, SUM, MAX, etc.).
Aggregating data across multiple records to determine progress (e.g., overall project completion based on individual task statuses).
Example Scenarios
Sales Goal Progress:
Mapped: Link the bar to an "Amount Closed" field.
Advanced: Calculate progress based on "Amount Closed" divided by "Quota."
Query: Average the "Percent Complete" of all Opportunities in a specific stage.
Customer Satisfaction:
Mapped: Display the value from a "Customer Satisfaction Score" field.
Advanced: Combine multiple survey response fields to create a composite score.
Query: Find the average rating across all customer reviews for a product.
Choosing the Right Option
How do you decide which method to use for setting your progress bar's value? Consider these points:
For simple progress tracking: If your progress is represented by a single field or variable (like a percentage complete field), the Mapped option is the quickest and most straightforward choice.
For custom calculations: If you need to combine multiple fields, apply specific weighting, or use custom logic to determine the progress value, use the Advanced (Formula) option.
For aggregating data across records: If your progress value needs to be calculated by summarizing data from multiple records (like averaging task statuses for an overall project), the Query option offers the most flexibility and power
Variant and Theme attributes define the appearance of the Progress Bar indicator. The Variant lets you choose from Base to Circular.
Using the attribute, an avatar can be added next to the Progress Bar, either on the left or right side. The avatar can be an icon from the Lightning Design System library or a custom image by uploading a custom image to the Image attribute.

The Progress Indicator component lets you customize the appearance of your progress bar using gradients.
Here's how:
Locate the 'Completed color' Setting: Find the "Bar" style section in the Style panel. You'll see the "Completed color" attribute.
Apply Your Gradient:
Gradient Angle: Choose the direction of your gradient.
Gradient Colors: Define the colors you want in your gradient.
Color Positions: Indicate where each color should start and stop using percentages (%).
Example: If you want a gradient that transitions from red (0%) to yellow (50%) to green (100%), you will set those colors at their corresponding percentage positions
The theme attribute lets you define a specific theme for the Progress Theme. Styling settings for a theme can be overridden by using .
