11 FAQ

  1. What are the prerequisites to use the UX plugin?

    You’ll need a basic understanding of Figma, Oracle’s Redwood Design System, Oracle JET, and the UI Toolkit. Additionally, an active Figma license and the latest version of the UI Toolkit installed on your system are required.

  2. How do I set up the plugin?

    Follow the steps outlined in the Plugin Setup section of this manual to install and configure the plugin. Once set up, you can start designing with the plugin.

  3. Can I create new components using the UX Plugin?

    Yes, the plugin allows designers to kick-start their designs by automatically generating components based on the inputs provided. This is done through the Create New feature, which streamlines the process of setting up design components according to specified requirements.

  4. How do I enhance existing components?

    The Generate from Existing feature allows you to refine and enhance existing components. This includes capabilities such as converting to transactions, adding grids, and adding conditions.

  5. What does the Convert to Transaction feature do?

    This feature converts a series of page sections into a 3-step transaction template, which can then be further customized by the designer.

  6. How do I add a grid to my design components?

    Use the Add Grid capability under the Generate from Existing option to apply a grid structure to your components. Simply select the frame, specify the grid size and alignment, and save the specifications.

  7. What is the purpose of the Add Conditions feature?

    The Add Conditions feature allows designers to manage interactions between components by defining how one component (controlling component) affects another (variable component), such as showing or hiding elements based on user inputs.

  8. What if I need to apply multiple conditions to a component?

    You can use the Add Logic feature to apply and/or logic to your conditions, enabling the creation of more complex interaction handling.

  9. Can I modify layer names in Figma?

    It is recommended to keep the original layer names of components unchanged, as modifying them may result in recognition errors by the plugin.

  10. What components are supported by the plugin?

    The plugin supports components exclusively from the Oracle JET and Redwood libraries. Other components are not recognized by the plugin.

  11. How do I export my design to the UI Toolkit?

    Once the design is complete, the UI developer can export the design to the UI Toolkit. Ensure that the toolkit is running in the background during the export process to avoid any issues.

  12. Can I update an already exported design?

    Yes, the plugin allows you to overwrite or update an existing design when exporting to the UI Toolkit. Details on this process can be found in the Export to Toolkit section.
