Type | Description | Layout (replace images) | Example |
Top navigation layout | Used by default for Verint applications. For more information, see VerinTop Top Navigation. |  |  |
Left navigation layout | Used for Verint applications with larger navigation menus. For more information, see VerinTop Left Navigation. |  |  |
Webpage layout | For Verint web pages, such as Verint Connect. Contact the UX team for more information. |  |  |
...
The layout of workspace sections should also have a clear hierarchy, ordered left-to-right, top-to-bottom.
...
REPLACE IMAGE
Note: For standalone interfaces, use Widgets instead.
...
Workspace sections should be of a fixed proportional width, with a height responsive to their content. Their size should not be adjustable by the user.
...
be collapsible, particularly for sections containing secondary or optional content. Titles should still be visible when a workspace section is collapsed.
have a maximize option, to show the workspace section’s content in a larger space such as a Popup or separate page.
Left Pane
The left pane consists of can be one of the following:
Left Navigation panePane (optional), containing a collapsible navigation menu.
Filter Pane (optional), allowing the user to refine what is shown in the main workspace.
Note: the filter pane may not be used in conjunction with left navigation.
Placement and Positioning
The left pane should:
...
stick to the left side of the page, beside the main workspace.
...
have a fixed width.
...
.
There should be no additional elements between the left pane and the main workspace.
Placement and Positioning
See the relevant pattern pages:
Right Details Pane
The right-hand details pane should be used to present information and actions relating to selected items within the main content, or additional content related to the main workspace.
For full details, see Details Pane.
Placement and Positioning
The details pane should:
stick to the right side of the page, beside the main workspace.
have a fixed width.
fill the vertical space to the bottom of the page.
The top of the details pane should start from either:
a few pixels beneath the VerinTop, to align with the top element in the header area, or
a few pixels beneath full-width header areas.
Where a Ribbon is used, the height of the details pane should reduce when the ribbon is expanded. The top of the pane should align to the bottom of the ribbon.
Interaction
The layout may not have a whole-page scroll. Each individual pane or workspace may have its own internal vertical scroll, where necessary.
The left and right panes may be collapsible, depending on the screen width. See individual pane specifications for further details.
...
Make sure there’s a natural flow between elements on the page, from top to bottom, left to right.
Prioritise the most important elements to facilitate user decisions.
Form associations between related elements by keeping them in close proximity and using similar styling.
.
Be aware of common scanning patterns, such as the F pattern, where users scan across the top and down the side of the content to find what they’re looking for.
Use:
fluid responsive design, to ensure the layout works at all screen sizes, across devices and browsers.
headers for each element within the layout, to make sure they are easily identifiable.
consistent spacing between elements.
color sparingly. It should only be used for primary information and calls to action.
the same layout for pages with similar content.
...
controls in the header area which don’t affect the entire main workspace.
workspace sections for standalone or embedded interfaces → use Widgets.
Responsive design
Must = 1366.
Where lower resolutions are needed, Verint products should may dynamically respond to the user’s screen size, platform, and orientation, supporting all devices down to the common tablet size (960px width).
For more information, see the general Responsive Design guidelines.
Where there is not enough space to display the full layout, the main workspace should be prioritised. Other areas within the layout may be collapsed or minimised, including the left and right panes.
The content of the main workspace should be fluid, dynamically adapting to the size of the available area, even as it changes during use. This may include changing text, graphics, table, and spacing sizes. The available space may change due to the state of collapsible panes as well as screen size.
Where sections are used within the main workspace:
as the width of the workspace changes, so should the widths of the individual sections within it. The proportion of the width that each section uses should remain the same.
the layout of the content within each section should dynamically respond to its width.
breakpoints may be introduced, at which the sections may be rearranged into a more appropriate layout. For example, a minimum-width workspace breakpoint may make all sections full width and vertically stacked.
Where space is severely limited, it is acceptable to remove auxiliary functionality, but this should be avoided where possible. ??
Using a mobile-first approach can make layout design and implementation easier.When the screen width is changed, anchored panes and components should remain fixed to the left- or right-hand side.
The size and spacing of individual components and fixed panes (such as the Filter Pane and Details Pane) should not change as the layout dynamically responds.
See the recommended responsive design for individual components, where necessary.
