• Group Page

  • If configured at the group level - that specific SmartChat widget (with theme and placeholder text) will cascade through that specific group

• Application Page

  • If configured at the application level - that specific SmartChat widget (with theme and placeholder text) will cascade through that specific application (and any other similar applications - i.e. If it is placed in a forum - it would be present on all forum pages in a group)

• Custom Page

  • If configured on a custom page - that specific SmartChat widget (with theme and placeholder text) will show just on the page

Fonts

Select Fonts from the widget menu.

Select a Font method from these options:

1. Basic

2. Google

3. Custom

4. Note: Default is “relative sizing” We recommend setting up a widget as a template with the desired settings, colors, etc. so that you can copy that configuration if you plan to reuse the across the community or share with your community management (place owners) team.

Font selection

Basic Font: Choose from the browser default fonts (serif, sans-serif, cursive, and monotype) and global web-safe fonts used in your Verint community. If you select a Basic font, you can also configure the script type (Bold, Italic, etc.).

Google Font: you can select a font from those provided by Google. Begin typing to search for a specific Google font. Browse and preview the Google Fonts database here: Google Fonts.

Custom Font: you can import your own custom font by supplying hosted links to your font files. For cross-browser compatibility, please specify at least a woff or ttf font file.

Note: You are responsible for licensing and paying for that font.

Depending on what widget you are configuring there may be different sections for setting your fonts such as: title, heading, sub-heading, tabs, category etc.

When you are finished setting your fonts, save your changes. Scroll to the bottom of the widget and click the Save All button.

Migrate Configuration

To generate a copy of your current SmartChat configuration, click on the migration tab. Then under Export Configuration click the button that says “Generate Configuration”. Once the text field is populated with the configuration code click the copy button. Please store that code in a safe location for future reference. 

If you would like to import a previously configured SmartChat and you have that configuration code handy, you can paste the code into the text field below Import Configuration. Once the code is properly imported and displayed in the text field, click apply. Once you click apply you can navigate to the other tabs within the widget configuration and make any needed changes and then click Save. Otherwise, if no changes need to be made, simply import and apply the configuration code and then click Save.
