How do you add a vertical progress bar in Adalo?

Bind Adalo’s Vertical Progress Bar to current and maximum numeric values, then control direction, color, rounding, and responsive placement.

Documented from current sourcesBeginnerReviewed Aug 16, 2026
THE SHORT ANSWER 🎯

Use the Vertical Progress Bar marketplace component, bind Progress Value and Maximum Value to raw numeric data, and choose whether the fill moves upward or downward.

Bind the component to a current and maximum number, then use direction and styling to match the metric’s meaning. Keep an exact numeric label nearby so the visualization is not the only source of information.

The intended outcome

A vertical indicator updates automatically as the bound numeric value changes.

BEFORE YOU START 🧰

Requirements

  • Vertical Progress Bar marketplace component
  • A current numeric value
  • A positive maximum value
BUILD IT 🛠️

Step by step

  1. 01

    Add Vertical Progress Bar

    Install the component, place it on the target screen, and resize it to the desired column dimensions.

  2. 02

    Bind the two values

    Connect Progress Value to the current number and Maximum Value to a fixed or record-specific positive maximum using No Formatting.

  3. 03

    Choose direction and styling

    Fill from the bottom for progress or turn on Fill From Top for depletion, then set colors and corner radius.

  4. 04

    Add a numeric label

    Place text beside the bar to show the exact current value, maximum, or percentage.

WHY IT WORKS 🧠

The underlying logic

The filled proportion is current value divided by maximum value.

A visual bar communicates direction quickly, while an adjacent label preserves numerical precision.

EVIDENCE CONTEXT 🔎

What still needs checking?

  • This is a forum-native answer with no original Adalocado video.
  • Current documentation confirms upward and downward fill, raw number binding, colors, rounding, and automatic updates.
IF IT DOESN’T WORK 🧯

Common failure modes

The bar stays empty or full

Confirm both bindings are raw numbers, Maximum Value is positive, and Progress Value is within the intended range.

The bar points in the wrong direction

Change Fill From Top according to whether the design represents accumulation or depletion.

BOUNDARIES 🚧

Current limitations

  • The component visualizes a number; it does not calculate progress or enforce business rules.
  • Very small maximum values can create misleading visual jumps.
