Operating Modes

UCx 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, UCx Integrator Cara runs as a system tray program, displayed as a coloured circle icon.

The icon colour 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 UCx Integrator icon in the system tray.
