A method of displaying recipe information for a process control system, the method comprising: displaying a screen associated with a recipe including a plurality of process phases; partitioning the screen into bounded display areas (602a-602e, 604, 606), wherein the bounded display areas (602a-602e, 604, 606) include a plurality of summary information display areas (602a-602e) and a detailed information display area; generating a plurality of summary capsules, each corresponding to at least one of the process phases of the recipe; displaying each of the summary capsules in a respective one of the summary information display areas (602a-602e) in an arrangement indicative of a process flow of the recipe; and displaying detailed information corresponding to at least one of the process phases of the recipe in the detailed information display area, the method being characterized in that the bounded display areas (602a-602e, 604, 606) further include an overall recipe progress display area and the method further comprises: displaying a recipe progress bar in the overall recipe progress display area to display an overall progress of the recipe, the recipe progress bar comprising process stage progress bars for corresponding ones of the process phases, the process stage progress bars linearly concatenated in a serial manner to simultaneously represent progresses of the process phases and an overall progress of the recipe, at least one of the process stage progress bars including a filled portion and a non-filled portion, the filled portion indicative of a completed amount of a corresponding one of the process phases, and the non-filled portion indicative of a portion to be completed of the corresponding one of the process phases. displaying a screen associated with a recipe including a plurality of process phases; partitioning the screen into bounded display areas (602a-602e, 604, 606), wherein the bounded display areas (602a-602e, 604, 606) include a plurality of summary information display areas (602a-602e) and a detailed information display area; generating a plurality of summary capsules, each corresponding to at least one of the process phases of the recipe; displaying each of the summary capsules in a respective one of the summary information display areas (602a-602e) in an arrangement indicative of a process flow of the recipe; and displaying detailed information corresponding to at least one of the process phases of the recipe in the detailed information display area, the method being characterized in that the bounded display areas (602a-602e, 604, 606) further include an overall recipe progress display area and the method further comprises: displaying a recipe progress bar in the overall recipe progress display area to display an overall progress of the recipe, the recipe progress bar comprising process stage progress bars for corresponding ones of the process phases, the process stage progress bars linearly concatenated in a serial manner to simultaneously represent progresses of the process phases and an overall progress of the recipe, at least one of the process stage progress bars including a filled portion and a non-filled portion, the filled portion indicative of a completed amount of a corresponding one of the process phases, and the non-filled portion indicative of a portion to be completed of the corresponding one of the process phases.
