Note

To access the most up-to-date documentation, Kraken routes users to documentation resources within doc.haivision.com. 

For disconnected environments (i.e. if no external internet connection is available), the Kraken UI checks for an asset on the documentation portal, specifically 'https://assets.doc.haivision.com/assets/images/favicon.png', and will guide users to the local offline help when this asset is unavailable.

Tip

Kraken provides pop-up notifications for most actions taken from the web interface.

These notifications appear on the top-right of the screen and confirm/describe the status of the action. It is important to take note of these pop-ups, as some may contain messages or alerts that require user action.
