Publishing and maintaining libraries in Figma - Dashboard Guide
Sample Data: Library Usage and Maintenance
| Library Name | Version | Last Updated | Active Projects | Components Count | Issues Reported | Maintainer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core UI Kit | 3.2 | 2024-05-15 | 12 | 150 | 3 | Alice |
| Marketing Assets | 1.8 | 2024-04-20 | 7 | 80 | 1 | Bob |
| Icons Pack | 2.5 | 2024-06-01 | 15 | 200 | 0 | Charlie |
| Brand Guidelines | 1.0 | 2024-03-10 | 5 | 50 | 2 | Dana |
| UX Patterns | 4.1 | 2024-05-30 | 10 | 120 | 4 | Alice |
Dashboard Components
- KPI Card: Total Active Projects
Formula: SUM of Active Projects column
Result: 12 + 7 + 15 + 5 + 10 = 49 - KPI Card: Total Issues Reported
Formula: SUM of Issues Reported column
Result: 3 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 10 - Bar Chart: Components Count by Library
X-axis: Library Name
Y-axis: Components Count
Shows how many components each library has - Table: Library Details
Columns: Library Name, Version, Last Updated, Maintainer
Shows detailed info for each library - Line Chart: Last Updated Dates
X-axis: Library Name
Y-axis: Date (converted to numeric for timeline)
Shows recency of updates for each library
Dashboard Layout
+----------------------+----------------------+ | Total Active Projects | Total Issues Reported | | [49] | [10] | +----------------------+----------------------+ | | | Bar Chart: Components Count by Library | | | +----------------------+----------------------+ | | | Table: Library Details | | | +----------------------+----------------------+ | | | Line Chart: Last Updated Dates | | | +----------------------+----------------------+
Interactivity
Adding a filter for Maintainer will update all components to show data only for libraries maintained by the selected person. For example, selecting 'Alice' will update KPI cards, bar chart, table, and line chart to reflect only 'Core UI Kit' and 'UX Patterns'.
Similarly, filtering by Library Name will update the charts and KPIs to focus on the selected library.
Self Check
If you add a filter for Maintainer = 'Charlie', which components update and what are their new values?
- KPI Cards: Total Active Projects = 15 (Icons Pack only), Total Issues Reported = 0
- Bar Chart: Shows Components Count only for Icons Pack (200)
- Table: Shows only Icons Pack row
- Line Chart: Shows last updated date for Icons Pack only (2024-06-01)
Key Result
Dashboard shows library usage, update recency, and maintenance health for design libraries.
