Work-Progress Countdown Indicator

The work-progress countdown indicator appears on your page after you start an activity, and displays the time remaining until you complete that activity.

Where the indicator appears on your page depends on the mobile device you are using. If your screen width is 540 pixels or more, the indicator displays as a bar across the top. On narrower screens, the indicator displays on the right side of the title bar.


This screenshot shows a green work-progress indicator, as it appears in both a mobile device with a screen width of 540 pixels or more and on one with a narrower width.

As the time remaining decreases, the color of the indicator changes from green, to yellow, and then to red. You will receive an expiration reminder when the countdown reaches 5 minutes. When the timer runs down to 0 hours and 0 minutes, the time is replaced with two dashes (--) for hours and minutes and the timer remains red.


This figure shows a red work-progress indicator when the time allotted to the activity has expired.
Note: If duration of an activity is set to 5 minutes, the countdown indicator will be red immediately.

You can adjust the time to indicate when you plan to leave the activity site by clicking Adjust and selecting the additional time you need to complete the activity. Adjusting the time updates the information that displays in the indicator.

Since the indicator displays on many pages, it still will be visible should you need to navigate away from the Activity details page.
