It would be useful to have an option for a progress bar that could be enabled (Cloud and or Publisher) for app installs/updates during the install. This would be something like a notification or progress bar to detail the status of the installation.
Thank you - we've read and noted this Feature Request. We triage and stack rank based on customer demand (Vote counts), resourcing and other factors and will update the status if/when this Feature makes progress.
We have received a fair few complaints about the lack of progress bar - users are concerned as to when it is safe for them to reopen an application.
A progress bar or status notification for application installs and updates would be a valuable enhancement.
Currently, when affected applications are closed during an update, the notification disappears. Users can no longer see the installation progress and do not receive a completion message once the update has finished. As a result, they have no clear indication of when it is safe to reopen their applications and continue working.
Providing a persistent progress indicator and a final completion notification would improve transparency, reduce user uncertainty, and help minimize workflow interruptions during application updates.
This feature would really improve the user experience, especially for apps that take some time to install. And also when apps need to close an open process, it would be good for the user to be able to know directly when they can start using the app again. Instead of having to refresh Company Portal. For us this would be relevant in PMPC Cloud. Before our app-migration the users were used to this type of progress bar from PS-ADT.
That would be really helpful. (not a popup, but Progress)
Users need the Progress bar after an app has been closed with the note to close. This is because the user does not know how long the update has been running in the background and may open the app too early. So it is best to program it so that the progress is only displayed if the user has closed the app after the notification.
