Evaluation Progress Bar
Our organization has a board/advisory committee that evaluates applications and scores them according to strengths/weaknesses etc.
Foundant has created a great way to see how a committee member has scored each particular proposal. Since committee members are reviewing many applications, someone suggessted that it might be nice to have a progress bar at the top of the application list so each committee member has a quick snapshot of how far along they are reviewing all the applications.
I've included a screen shot (edited of course) of what this potentially could look like. The progress bar could include how many they've completed out of the total (25/51) and how far along they are by the percentage (49%).
Let me know if anyone else would find this helpful. Looking forward to your feedback!

Hi Michael and Caroline,
I don't know how I missed this item earlier, but I wanted to just let you know this isn't a high priority item for us at this point. As we continue to get through more functional feature requests, I could see us making some enhancements like this one, but we're just not there yet.
Thanks for taking time to post the suggestion and comments, and again, sorry I missed responding earlier.

Actually slow response by my standards. Apologies for that and I'll do much better next time. A sincere thank you for hanging in there and for your well-considered responses. I'm going to add it to our backlog!

Raymond,
The "x of y" indicator without the graphic would be perfect, as long as users have some type of understanding of where they're at in the evaluation process of grants. I bet it would be much easier to write/program as well!
Thanks for the quick response!

Michael,
Thank you for the great idea and for taking the time to provide a mock-up. I could see how folks with tens or even hundreds of evaluations would find some kind of progress indicator helpful. I noticed the mock-up included two elements, an "X of Y" indicator (e.g.: 21/99) and a progress bar. As a designer, I'm always looking at keeping pages as clean and simple as possible, while still communicating the information helpful for users. Having the "X of Y" indicator without the graphical bar be adequate in your mind, or if you had to choose between the two, would you just choose the progress bar?
Other are welcom to comment as well. Thank you!
