System modes

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 type and menu items navigation mode (top or left) for all products within a suite.
Short labels for menu items, allowing room for translation.
...
Different types of navigation for different products within the same suite.
Words in sub-menu items which are included in the parent menu item, to keep labels short. For example, the options underneath Settings should be (e.g.) Privacy , Localization etc., not and Localization rather than Privacy Settings , and Localization Settings etc.A collapsible header bar with Instances.
Accessibility Compliance
Unless otherwise specified, see our general compliance information in Fundamentals - Accessibility.
Responsive Design
Verint products should 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, including recommended breakpoints, see the general Responsive Design guidelines.
Responsive guidelines
The VerinTop has been designed at 1366 px width. As the screen width changes, it should respond based on the number and length of menu items, in both top and second level navigation.
The space between menu items should not be adjusted at any width.
Each menu item will have 5 px padding either side of the label. The selection highlight should extend across this padding.
Top level menu items will have an additional 20 px spacing between them.
Second level menu items will have an additional 10 px spacing between them.
Wide screens
Example at 1921 px:
...
Where the screen size is wide enough to comfortably show everything contained within the VerinTop:
All content should be shown on one line, without wrapping. This includes:
top-level menu items.
the application selector. This area may be expanded if the application name is long, and normally wraps onto 2 lines.
Elements aligned to the left- and right-hand sides (Product Area and User Profile) will remain there.
Narrow screens
Where second level navigation does not fit within the screen width:
a More… option should be added on the right-hand side.
clicking More… will open a Drop-down Menu containing the remaining menu items.
the same hover and selected states from the main menu should be used for menu items in the drop-down.
Example at 1281 px:
...
Where top level navigation does not fit within the screen width, even after line wrapping:
The entire menu should be replaced by a menu icon button ⋮.
When the icon button is clicked, a drop-down menu will open.
Top level menu items will be shown on the left.
When a top level menu item is hovered over or clicked, the related second level menu items will be shown on the right.
When a second level menu item is selected, the menu will close and the new page will be shown in the workspace.
When the menu is first opened, the currently-selected top level and second level menu items should be shown by default.
The current selection should be shown at both levels.
A hover state should be shown for all menu items on hover (unless using a touch device).
Where possible, the selected page will be shown next to the menu icon button. This should include both top and second levels.
