A method of displaying recipe information for a process control system , the method comprising: displaying a user interface screen associated with a recipe being executed in the process control system , wherein the recipe includes a plurality of process phases (206a-i, 1006a-i); displaying a plurality of process stage progress indicators (506a-e, 602a-e) in the user interface screen in an arrangement representative of the process flow of the recipe , wherein each of the process stage progress indicators (506a-e, 602a-e) is representative of at least one of the process phases (206a-I, 1006a-i) of the recipe , and characterized in that : for each of the process stage progress indicators (506a-e, 602a-e), an amount of partial fill of the process stage progress indicator (506a-e, 602a-e) indicates an amount of completion of a respective process phase; displaying a progress bar graph (502 a-f, 608) which indicates an overall recipe progress of the recipe based on information received from the process control system , wherein the progress bar graph (502 a-f, 608) shows the process stage progress indicators (506 a-e, 602 a-e) concatenated to represent an overall progress of the recipe; and updating the amount of partial fill of the at least one of the process stage progress indicators (506a-e, 602a-e) in real-time based on information received from the process control system . displaying a user interface screen associated with a recipe being executed in the process control system , wherein the recipe includes a plurality of process phases (206a-i, 1006a-i); displaying a plurality of process stage progress indicators (506a-e, 602a-e) in the user interface screen in an arrangement representative of the process flow of the recipe , wherein each of the process stage progress indicators (506a-e, 602a-e) is representative of at least one of the process phases (206a-I, 1006a-i) of the recipe , and characterized in that : for each of the process stage progress indicators (506a-e, 602a-e), an amount of partial fill of the process stage progress indicator (506a-e, 602a-e) indicates an amount of completion of a respective process phase; displaying a progress bar graph (502 a-f, 608) which indicates an overall recipe progress of the recipe based on information received from the process control system , wherein the progress bar graph (502 a-f, 608) shows the process stage progress indicators (506 a-e, 602 a-e) concatenated to represent an overall progress of the recipe; and updating the amount of partial fill of the at least one of the process stage progress indicators (506a-e, 602a-e) in real-time based on information received from the process control system . for each of the process stage progress indicators (506a-e, 602a-e), an amount of partial fill of the process stage progress indicator (506a-e, 602a-e) indicates an amount of completion of a respective process phase; displaying a progress bar graph (502 a-f, 608) which indicates an overall recipe progress of the recipe based on information received from the process control system , wherein the progress bar graph (502 a-f, 608) shows the process stage progress indicators (506 a-e, 602 a-e) concatenated to represent an overall progress of the recipe; and updating the amount of partial fill of the at least one of the process stage progress indicators (506a-e, 602a-e) in real-time based on information received from the process control system . <EOS>
