Add indicator for downloading a widget

While downloading a large csv/excel file (over several hundreds mb file) from the widget, there would be a long delay of couple minutes before the browser indicates the file has been downloaded. During this time, the user has no indication if the request to download is in process or has failed. It would be good to have an indicator to show the download of the file is in progress, so user would not click the download multiple times thus causing multiple queries to hit the backend.

  • Hey ccoelho​ 

    I'm Head of Product Strategy at QBeeQ, a Sisense Gold Implementation Partner. We're always looking for some quick-win products that can help make the Sisense experience just a bit easier.

    I wanted to ask you a few questions about your idea. 

    • What would you expect this indicator to look like? And where would you think it best to show up? 
    • Would it disappear when the download started (and I assume that the browser would then take over, notifying the user that the download is in progress)

    Thanks!
