Progress Tracker

Reference page for Progress Tracker content element for the Auctria event website.

The Progress Tracker column content element provides a (default) Thermometer block that can be configured in a horizontal layout or a vertical layout with, or without, values displayed related to the element's Target Amount. There is also a simpler Funds Raised block that can be used.

Clicking the Progress Tracker element will now drop it into the column space you selected. The element will start with default text "Our Fundraising Target" and often should be modified to fit your event needs accordingly.
