Hi,

if it's a real-time workflow, you don't need any time - the changes are applied right away

if it's an asynchronous workflow, then it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to up to a few minutes, though it's, usually, on the lower end

Well, you might create a javascript function, set up a timer, and pull some field from CRM to see if the workflow has finished (might be a datetime field that would be set as the last step in your workflow.. and you would compare it with the value which you had when you started the timer. Or just a two option field whihc you would siwtch back and forth.. point is, you just need to be able to detect the change). Once there are changes, you can reload the form

It's probably easier to just make that a real-time workflow if that's possible of course

Not sure why it would not work with what I suggested - once you have started the timer, you can show the loader.. once you have detected the changes, you can hide the loader..

To should the loader, you can put a section on your form which you would hide or show as you need. Or you can probably try jquery dialog..

Or you can simply show / hide a form notification notifying the user of what's happening:

I don't have the code that would be doing just that, but you can check these links for some examples/guidelines (I'm sure there are other ways to do the same):
