# Basic Progress

`FetchTask` has a function called `taskStage()` that allows you to report progress for the synchronize action. The following example demonstrates basic progress reporting:

       task.taskStage().setMaximum(20);
       for (int ii = 0; ii < 20; ++ii)
       {
          // Do work
          task.taskStage().incrementProgress();
       }

The first line indicates that the maximum “progress” for a stage is 20. This means that when 20 units of progress have been made the task is 100% complete.

The code after that calls `incrementProgress()` to increment the progress 20 times. If you put this code in the body of the `synchronize` method you would therefore see progress increase by 5% increments, eventually reaching 100%.

If you knew that the synchronize action would involve retrieving 425 documents (for example) you could call `task.taskStage().setMaximum(425)` and then call `incrementProgress()`. The connector keeps track of how quickly progress is being made and automatically calculates the remaining time based on this.
