The Progress indicator is an animated graphic used to depict a loading function. It is intended to show the user that the system is working on something and is not waiting for user input or frozen. This is useful when attempting to run large reports, where the system may pause while collecting data.
Progress indicator options are in System preferences > Interface, under the Display section. Tick Display the progress indicator to activate the indicator.
You can specify the Milliseconds to wait before the progress indicator is displayed. This can be set to any value between 1000 and 10,000.
