How to show progress as a tasks.identify operation is running?

Hello.  I have a workflow that runs a tasks.identify command that allows the user to identify features.  It works fine, the only issue is, if the server is bogged down and it takes time to return the results, there is no visual feedback showing that anything is happening.  When you run an Identify tool directly within a Studio Web app, it opens the results list and gives a progress bar.  That way the user knows that something is happening and to wait.

Is there any way of doing this from a workflow?  It doesn't have to be the identical look and feel as the regular Identify tool, just something to let the user know that something is happening. Occasionally my workflow identify takes 5-10 seconds to complete, and that's an eternity for the user to wait not knowing if anything is happening.

Thanks,

Chris

  There are the ui.display-busy-state and ui.display-notification commands. If you have a display form open, you could also use the Show/Hide Form Element activities to show a busy text on the form itself.

  Thanks Berend.  ui.display-busy-state was exactly what I was looking for!
