The feature idea should be validated with Varbase maintainers. Please submit a new issue on https://www.drupal.org/node/add/project-issue/varbase as a "Feature request" to confirm its validity before starting to work on it.

The feature must follow the friendly User Experience guidelines according to Vardot's standards.
