Operating Modes

Go Integrator Cara can operate in either of two modes: Tray menu mode or AppBar mode.

The features and functions are almost identical with only slight differences between the two modes.

The mode is user-configurable via Configuration > Interface > AppBar mode after login.

The default is Tray menu mode (AppBar position set to "none").

Tray Menu

In the default Tray menu mode, Go Integrator Cara runs as a system tray program, displayed as a coloured circle icon.

The icon color represents the current user status: e.g. green for ready or available status.

To open the Tray menu to access tools and settings, right-click the Go Integrator icon in the system tray.

Icon Definitions:

Home:Return to main Tray mode menu

Recent Calls:Summarised call history

Make Call: Provides a Dialpad to make telephone calls. It also provides a method of setting your preferred device

Call Centre: If enabled, Telephone system Call Center tools

Help:Search and open relevant topics in online help

AppBar

If preferred, Go Integrator can operate as a native, docked Windows tool bar called "Appbar" mode.

To enable Appbar mode, right-click on the Go Integrator system tray icon and select Configuration.

Note:The Go Integrator system tray icon will no longer be presented but the icon showing user status is instead displayed at the top of the AppBar.

Under the "Interface" configuration page, select from the drop down list the desired position for the AppBar, left or right of screen and then "Save" settings. Selecting "None" will return to Tray mode.

The AppBar is displayed, docked to the side of the Windows desktop.
