Guides
Everything urTRACE does, one feature at a time - from preparing your Figma file to reading the results. Each section stands on its own, so jump straight to the one you need.
A quick workflow
- Name a study and pick what it starts as - a blank one, a survey, a prototype test, a 5-second test, or a preset your team saved.
- Build the sequence: add, reorder and write the blocks a participant will walk, watching the live preview as you go.
- At the first block that needs a prototype, import it from Figma - screens, imagery, fonts and links come across, and every other block in the study shares it.
- Set where the task starts and what counts as done, fix any navigation with Paths, and add Variables over elements testers should type into, switch, or be gated by.
- Share the link, collect sessions, and read the heatmaps, the routes people actually took, and their answers.
Building in Figma first still helps - real frames, clear names, wired navigation - but it is no longer where you have to start. See Prepare your Figma file for what imports cleanly.
A continuously developing service
urTRACE is a continuously developing service - imports, Variables and Paths in particular are actively being refined, so expect features here to keep evolving and improving over time. If you notice something off, or run into a bug, we'd genuinely like to hear about it: email us at [email protected] or use the contact form. Every report helps us improve the service.
