The **`Status Animation`** block is an [output block](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#output-block) that dynamically creates a visual indicator used for providing feedback during actions that may take some time to complete, such as data loading, form submission, or application processing.

* *Style*: [Dropdown configuration setting](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#dropdown) with pre-defined color options.

{% hint style="success" %}
You can attach the block to [Set Content](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/set-content.md) or [Set Content in Data Design](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/set-content-in-data-design.md) blocks to display the content on the page or form.

## Usage Example

An example of the usage for the Status Animation block is shown below:

The example displays a spinning status animation using the [Set Content block](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/set-content.md) and then proceeds to conduct a task (in this case a database table lookup operation). When the task completes, the spinning status animation is replaced by an [Alert](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/alert.md) using the [Alert Text block](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/alert-text.md).
