Once the application becomes busy the indicator appears in an indeterminate state. This means that the indicator shows movement to let you know that the application has not frozen/stalled, but it cannot display an accurate percentage as there may be several tasks being performed at the same time. </p> </div> <h2 id="parent_elements">Parent Elements</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Below is a list of interface elements that the <em>Busy Indicator</em> can exist within: </p> <ul> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <a href="/public/software/install_manager/referenceguide/interface/account_window/start" class="wikilink1" title="public:software:install_manager:referenceguide:interface:account_window:start">Account Window</a> - Provides you with the means to add an account, choose which account you would like to access and ultimately log in to that account, so that you can retrieve any product downloads that may be waiting for you on the <a href="http://www.daz3d.com" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="http://www.daz3d.com" rel="nofollow noopener">DAZ 3D</a> servers.</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <a href="/public/software/install_manager/referenceguide/interface/main_window/start" class="wikilink1" title="public:software:install_manager:referenceguide:interface:main_window:start">Main Window</a> - The main window of the application.</div> </li> </ul> </div>
