In a dashboard design, you want users to scroll only up and down to see more data. Which scroll behavior setting in Figma achieves this?
Think about which direction allows vertical movement but restricts sideways movement.
Vertical scroll behavior allows users to scroll up and down, which is ideal for long dashboards. Horizontal scroll would allow sideways movement, which is not desired here.
You have a wide data table that doesn't fit the screen width. You want users to scroll sideways to see all columns. Which scroll behavior should you enable in Figma?
Consider which scroll direction lets users move left and right.
Horizontal scroll allows sideways movement, perfect for wide tables. Vertical scroll won't help see columns beyond screen width.
You want to create a dashboard prototype in Figma where the main content scrolls vertically, but a side panel scrolls horizontally. How should you set the scroll behaviors for these two frames?
Think about typical dashboard layouts and how users navigate content.
Main content usually scrolls vertically to see more data. Side panels with menus or filters often scroll horizontally if content is wide.
You designed a dashboard frame in Figma with vertical scroll enabled, but users report they can scroll sideways too. What is the most likely cause?
Check the size of the frame compared to its content.
If content is wider than the frame, horizontal overflow occurs, allowing sideways scroll even if only vertical scroll is set.
You are designing a BI dashboard in Figma that must work on desktop and mobile. On desktop, the dashboard should scroll vertically only. On mobile, the dashboard should allow both vertical and horizontal scroll because of limited screen width. How do you set scroll behaviors to meet these requirements?
Think about how to handle different device needs in one design file.
Using separate frames with different scroll settings and toggling visibility per device ensures the best user experience on each platform.
