Best practices
Use:
Use breadcrumbs as secondary navigation.
Breadcrumbs should be used when there are 2 two or more linear levels to a page hierarchy.
Don’t use:
Breadcrumbs should never entirely to replace the primary navigation.
Do not use the breadcrumbs component on pages with a flat structure (1 one level).
Do not use breadcrumbs to show progress through a linear journey. They navigation history. Breadcrumbs should only represent page hierarchy.

Responsive design
Verint products should support all devices down to the common tablet size (960px width). For general guidelines, see Fundamentals - Responsive design.
The breadcrumbs placement and positioning is fixed, regardless of screen width or height.
Where a breadcrumb line exceeds the container width:
truncation will apply to all central items, while keeping the first, last, and second-last levels non-truncated.
truncation should apply to all of the central items equally, so each has the same available space.
the spacing between each level should remain static.
each level should have a minimum width of 2 characters.
