2023 Week 34 | User Experience, Design & Templates

Introduction

This week we are exploring user experience and design for CRM Analytics dashboards.

Design foundations are the key visual elements to create a consistent interface. This includes guidance on color, type scale and fundamental navigation patterns.

Using the Design Style Guide template app gives you a starting point for consistent and best practice design – so whether you are a beginner in the visual analytics space or have many users creating dashboards for a business where you need consistency in branding.

Requirements

  • Within your Dev org create a new template app – Design Style Guide
  • Run through all steps for app creation
  • Once the app has completed, edit elements based on your required branding/theme

The resulting app should look like similar to the below, as well as one of the style dashboards. 

Be sure to explore all elements created as part of the template app, there are some great ideas!
