UX-DESIGNER Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    A financial services firm is redesigning its wealth management console in Lightning Experience. The primary users, financial advisors, complain that the current Account record page is a monolithic block of information, making it difficult to quickly assess a client's portfolio status, recent activity, and upcoming tasks. They need a more modular, context-aware interface. The design requirements state that specific sections, like 'Investment Portfolio' and 'Compliance Documents', should only be visible to advisors with specific profiles. Additionally, a guided path should be present for the client onboarding process, which is a key stage on the Account record.

    Which combination of declarative features should a UX Designer recommend to meet these requirements?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    This is the optimal solution. Dynamic Forms directly address the need for a modular, context-aware interface by allowing fields and sections to be placed as individual components. Component Visibility rules can then be applied to these sections based on user profiles to meet the security/visibility requirement. Finally, the Path component is the standard declarative feature for guiding users through a process like onboarding.

  2. Question 2

    Multiple answers

    A UX Designer is creating a custom component that needs to visually align with Salesforce's branding but also allow for future branding updates by the customer's administrator without code changes. The component includes a primary action button, a container with a subtle border, and text that uses the standard Salesforce heading font. Which SLDS tools should be used to ensure this flexibility? (Select THREE)

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answers: B, C, D

    Design tokens (e.g., var(--slds-g-color-brand-base-1)) are variables in the SLDS that store visual design attributes. Using them ensures the component automatically inherits branding from the Salesforce theme.

    Styling hooks (CSS custom properties) expose specific styling points of a component, allowing administrators or developers to override them easily for branding purposes without altering the component's core CSS.

    Using the standard SLDS class for a button ensures it inherits all the base styling, accessibility attributes, and interaction states consistent with the rest of the Salesforce UI.

  3. Question 3

    A UX designer is reviewing a new Lightning record page for a custom 'Project' object. The page contains over 75 fields, multiple related lists, and several custom components. User feedback indicates that the page load time is slow and the amount of information is overwhelming, increasing cognitive load. Which declarative approach provides the most effective solution to organize the content and improve perceived performance?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    The Tabs component is the ideal declarative solution for this problem. It breaks a large amount of information into logical, manageable chunks, reducing the initial cognitive load. By placing content in non-active tabs, it can also improve the perceived page load time, as the content within those tabs may not render until they are clicked. This directly addresses both user complaints.

  4. Question 4

    True or False: According to the principles of inclusive design, a solution is considered inclusive only if it provides the exact same experience for every user, regardless of their abilities or context.

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    This statement is false. Inclusive design does not mean creating one identical experience for all. It means creating comparable or equivalent experiences that allow users with different abilities and in different contexts to achieve the same goal. The focus is on providing an equitable outcome, not an identical interface.

  5. Question 5

    A consultant is designing a three-column layout for a custom app page that must be responsive. On large desktop screens, it should display three columns. On tablet-sized screens, the third column should wrap to a new line, creating a 2+1 layout. On mobile phones, each column should stack vertically, taking up the full width. Which SLDS utility class system should be used to achieve this?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The SLDS Grid system is specifically designed for creating flexible, responsive layouts. By using classes like slds-grid, slds-wrap, and responsive sizing utilities like slds-size_1-of-1, slds-medium-size_1-of-2, and slds-large-size_1-of-3 on the slds-col elements, a designer can declaratively define the exact wrapping and stacking behavior across different breakpoints (mobile, tablet, desktop).

  6. Question 6

    A UX Designer is tasked with evaluating an existing Service Console implementation. The goal is to identify usability problems based on established design principles without conducting new user testing sessions at this stage. The designer needs to systematically review the interface against a checklist of recognized usability principles to find potential issues like inconsistent terminology, confusing navigation, and lack of system feedback. What is the most appropriate discovery method for this task?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    A Heuristic Evaluation is an expert-based review method where a product's interface is evaluated against a set of recognized usability principles (heuristics), such as Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics. This method is ideal for the described scenario as it involves a systematic inspection of the UI to identify usability problems without requiring end-user participation at this stage.

  7. Question 7

    During a usability test for a new screen flow, a participant expresses frustration, stating, "I feel like I'm being timed and you're judging my computer skills." The designer notices the participant is behaving more cautiously and is taking longer to complete tasks than in a pre-session warm-up. This change in behavior, resulting from the participant's awareness of being observed, is a well-known bias. What is this bias called?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The Hawthorne Effect describes the alteration of behavior by the subjects of a study due to their awareness of being observed. In usability testing, this can manifest as participants performing tasks differently than they would in a real-world context, either by being more careful, trying harder to succeed, or feeling performance anxiety.

  8. Question 8

    A design team is creating a journey map for a nonprofit's volunteer onboarding process, which spans multiple touchpoints: the public website, an Experience Cloud site for applications, email communications, and in-person orientation. To create a holistic view, the map must document not only the volunteer's actions and feelings but also the internal Salesforce processes and staff actions that support each stage. Which type of diagram is best suited for visualizing both the front-stage (customer-facing) and back-stage (internal) activities?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    A Service Design Blueprint is the correct choice because it extends a standard customer journey map. It explicitly visualizes the relationships between different service components: people, props (physical or digital evidence), and processes. Crucially, it distinguishes between front-stage actions (visible to the customer) and back-stage actions (internal processes), which directly meets the requirement to document both volunteer and internal staff activities.

  9. Question 9

    A UX designer is creating a custom search results page. To help users distinguish between different types of records (e.g., Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities), an icon is displayed next to each result. According to SLDS best practices, what type of icon should be used for this purpose?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    Standard Icons in SLDS are used to represent Salesforce entities and objects, such as Account, Contact, or Opportunity. They have a distinct rounded-square shape and object-specific logo, making them the correct choice for visually identifying different record types in a list or search results.

  10. Question 10

    A UX designer is improving a screen flow used for multi-step customer registration. To reduce errors and guide users, the business wants to show a visual summary of the steps involved and the user's current position in the process. Which standard component should be added to the flow screens to meet this requirement?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The Progress Indicator component is specifically designed for this purpose within screen flows. It displays the sequence of steps in a process and indicates the current step, providing users with context and a clear sense of their progress. While Path serves a similar function on record pages, Progress Indicator is the correct component for use within a flow.
