SettingDescription
PositionDisplay the progress bar at the top or bottom of the page.
FormatDisplay the number of pages that have been completed so far, or the percentage of pages that have been completed so far.

When using the One Question at a Time format, the progress bar can only display how many questions (out of the total) the respondent has answered, rather than how many pages or the percentage they've completed.

When Skip logic is applied, the progress bar displays the percentage of pages completed. However, if both One Question at a Time and Skip logic are applied, the progress bar only displays how many questions the respondent answered so far. To display the percentage format, switch the survey format to Classic.
