Progress bar
============

The progress bar is visible above each stage, displaying the percentage breakdown of every status
type for all the cards within that stage. Each status type has an assigned color that appears within
the bar.

The specific definition of these statuses changes depending on the app. For example, in the
**Helpdesk** app, the progress bar for a stage consists of the :guilabel:`In progress`,
:guilabel:`Ready`, and :guilabel:`Blocked` statuses by default.

To see a detailed count, hover over a representative color, which activates a notification detailing
the number of cards in the stage of that specific status.

Clicking a status color filters the stage to show only cards with that status. The card count for
the selected status appears next to the progress bar.
