INPUT
Display progress with number of steps
Problem
Extensive tasks can be time consuming or confusing for the user, especially if they span over multiple screens.
Solution
If a particular task or functionality is divided into multiple screens, it makes sense to display the current step and the number of all steps so that the user gets a sense of progress and does not give up while performing the task. The pattern can be used in a mobile or web application.
