Showing a loader when repeating group is loading

I have a repeating group that displays users based on filters, but I can’t seem to understand how to make a loader show up when the information is loading. What’s your solution for the loader to show up immediately after clicking a filter, and stops displaying when the repeating group VISUALLY has loaded?

You can use the condition “Is Loading” when referring to a repeating group, so in your case you can hide the repeating group IF LOADING = YES and show an image (or gif) on it’s place with the same condition.

If you’d like to show a Popup that cant be closed, so the user wont change anything else on the screen, you can create a custom event that works as a loop and align it with a “On value change” trigger.

For example:

  • On change of the input, call a workflow that shows the loading popup and calls the custom event
  • The custom event is something like: Waits 2s for next action ; Calls the same custom (ONLY IF IS LOADING = TRUE) ;Close the popup (ONLY IF IS LOADING = FALSE)

This way, the workflow will keep calling itself untill IS LOADING = FALSE, each time it calls itself it only ways to try again.

Is there a way to do this when the search in a dropdown is loading? I have a dropdown that loads based on other input data so it takes a little while, but users are clicking it straightaway and not seeing anything
