    • close the menu.

  • Hovering over the user profile will show the name of the user in a Tooltip.

System modes

Where the entire interface can be put into an alternative ‘special’ mode, the VerinTop may be used to indicate when it’s active. Relevant modes may include for demonstration, simulation (where changes are not applied to the live site), or impersonation (when acting as a different user).

  • A colored gradient should be added to the VerinTop background when the mode is activate.

  • A colored label describing the mode may also be added to the VerinTop.

  • System modes are usually managed (turned on and off) via the User Profile menu.

...

Best practices

Use:

  • VerinTop in every Verint application.

  • The same navigation mode (top or left) for all products within a suite.

  • Short labels for menu items, allowing room for translation.
