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.

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