Transition animations in Figma - Dashboard Guide

Dashboard Mode - Transition animations

Dashboard Goal

This dashboard helps product managers understand how users navigate through app screens by showing transition animations between key pages. It answers: Which screen transitions are most frequent and how smooth are the animations?

Sample Data

From Screen	To Screen	Transition Count	Average Duration (ms)
Home	Search	1200	300
Search	Product Detail	900	350
Product Detail	Cart	600	400
Cart	Checkout	450	450
Checkout	Confirmation	430	320
Home	Profile	300	280
Profile	Settings	200	310

Dashboard Components

• KPI Card: Total Transitions
  Formula: SUM of all Transition Count = 1200+900+600+450+430+300+200 = 4080
• Bar Chart: Transitions by Screen Pair
  X-axis: "From Screen to To Screen"
  Y-axis: Transition Count
  Shows bars for each screen pair with counts: Home->Search (1200), Search->Product Detail (900), etc.
• Line Chart: Average Animation Duration Over Transitions
  X-axis: Screen pairs in order of flow
  Y-axis: Average Duration (ms)
  Shows trend of animation duration from 280ms to 450ms

Interactivity

A filter dropdown lets users select a From Screen. When selected, the bar chart, line chart, and table update to show only transitions starting from that screen. The KPI card updates to show the total transitions for the filtered data.

Self Check

If you add a filter for From Screen = "Home", which components update and what changes occur?

• KPI Card updates to show total transitions from Home: 1200 + 300 = 1500
• Bar Chart shows only Home->Search (1200) and Home->Profile (300)
• Line Chart shows average durations for these two transitions: 300ms and 280ms
• Table filters to only rows where From Screen is Home

Key Result

Dashboard showing user screen transition counts and animation durations with interactive filtering by starting screen.
