Understanding Frame Navigation in Figma

You have a Figma file with multiple frames named 'Dashboard', 'Report', and 'Summary'. Which method correctly navigates to the 'Report' frame using Figma's plugin API?

A figma.currentPage.selection = [figma.currentPage.findOne(node => node.name === 'Report' && node.type === 'FRAME')]

B figma.viewport.scrollAndZoomIntoView([figma.currentPage.findOne(node => node.name === 'Report' && node.type === 'FRAME')])

C figma.navigateToFrame('Report')

D figma.currentPage.setCurrentFrame('Report')

💡 Hint

Think about how to move the viewport to a specific frame rather than just selecting it.

Option B uses the correct Figma API method to move the viewport to the frame named 'Report'. Option B only selects the frame but does not navigate the viewport. Options C and D are not valid Figma API methods.

Calculate Total Sales for Selected Frame

In a Power BI report, you have a slicer filtering data by 'FrameName'. You want to create a measure that calculates total sales only for the currently selected frame. Which DAX measure achieves this?

A TotalSalesSelected = SUM(Sales[Amount])

B TotalSalesSelected = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Amount]), Sales[FrameName] = SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[FrameName]))

C TotalSalesSelected = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Amount]), FILTER(ALL(Sales), Sales[FrameName] = SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[FrameName])))

D TotalSalesSelected = SUMX(FILTER(Sales, Sales[FrameName] = SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[FrameName])), Sales[Amount])

💡 Hint

Use CALCULATE with FILTER and ALL to override existing filters properly.

Option C correctly uses CALCULATE with FILTER and ALL to remove existing filters and apply the filter for the selected frame. Option C does not override existing filters. Option C works but is less efficient. Option C respects all existing filters.

Best Visualization to Show Frame Navigation Flow

You want to create a dashboard visualization that shows how users navigate between frames in a BI report. Which visualization type best represents this flow clearly?

A A pie chart showing percentage of visits per frame

B A clustered bar chart showing frame visit counts

C A line chart showing visits over time

D A Sankey diagram showing the flow from one frame to another

💡 Hint

Think about showing directional flow between categories.

A Sankey diagram visually represents flows and transitions between frames, making it ideal for navigation paths. Other charts show counts or trends but not flow.

Debugging Frame Navigation Code in Figma Plugin

This Figma plugin code is intended to navigate to a frame named 'Summary', but it does not move the viewport. What is the error?

Figma

const frame = figma.currentPage.findOne(node => node.name === 'Summary' && node.type === 'FRAME');
figma.currentPage.selection = [frame];

A The code only selects the frame but does not move the viewport to it

B The findOne method is used incorrectly and returns null

C The frame variable is not defined before use

D The node.type should be 'FRAME_NODE' instead of 'FRAME'

💡 Hint

Selecting a frame does not automatically change the viewport position.

The code sets the selection but does not call the method to move the viewport. To navigate, use figma.viewport.scrollAndZoomIntoView().

🎯 Scenario

Designing a BI Report with Frame-Based Navigation

You are designing a BI report with multiple frames representing different business areas. You want users to navigate seamlessly between frames and see aggregated KPIs update accordingly. Which approach best supports this scenario?

A Use bookmarks to create navigation buttons between frames and sync slicers for KPI updates

B Create separate reports for each frame and link them externally

C Use page tabs only without syncing filters or bookmarks

D Embed all frames in one page without navigation controls

💡 Hint

Think about user-friendly navigation and synchronized filtering.

Bookmarks with navigation buttons allow smooth frame switching. Syncing slicers ensures KPIs update across frames. Other options lack seamless navigation or KPI synchronization.
