Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]  
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
a.The ordinary shares, par value NIS 1.0 per share, of the Company are traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange and its American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), each representing one fully paid ordinary share, are traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market.
b.Share option plan:
2016 Share Incentive Plan
In February 2016 the Company adopted the 2016 Share Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan" ). The Company adopted the 2016 Plan to provide incentives to employees, directors, consultants and/or contractors by rewarding performance and encouraging behavior that will improve the Company’s profitability.
Under the 2016 Plan, the Company's employees, directors, consultants and/or contractors may be granted any equity-related award, including: any type of an option to acquire the Company's ordinary shares; share appreciation right; share and/or restricted share award ("RSA"); restricted stock unit ("RSU") and/or other share unit; and/or other share-based award and/or other right or benefit under the 2016 Plan, including any such equity-related award that is a performance-based award (each an "Award").
Generally, under the terms of the 2016 Plan, unless determined otherwise by the administrator of the 2016 Plan, 25% of an Award granted becomes exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 6.25% becomes exercisable once every quarter during the subsequent three years. Specifically with respect to RSUs and options granted with an exercise price equal to the nominal value of an ordinary share ("par value options"), unless determined otherwise by the Board of Directors, 25% of the RSUs and the par value options granted become vested on each of the four consecutive annual anniversaries following the date of grant.
Certain executive officers are entitled to acceleration of vesting of Awards in the event of a change of control, subject to certain conditions. Awards with a vesting period expire six years after the date of grant. Pursuant to a resolution of the Company's Board of Directors dated February 4, 2014, options that are performance-based and that were granted during calendar year 2014 and thereafter shall expire seven years following the date of grant. The maximum number of shares that may be subject to Awards granted under each of the Plans is calculated each calendar year as 3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital as of December 31 of the preceding calendar year (pursuant to an amendment of the 2016 Plan approved by the Board of Directors on October 2, 2019). Such amount is reset for each calendar year. Awards are non-transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Options granted under the 2016 Plan are granted at an exercise price equal to the average of the closing prices of one ADR as quoted on the NASDAQ market during the 30 consecutive calendar days preceding the date of grant, unless determined otherwise by the administrator of the 2016 Plan (including par value options).
The Company’s Board of Directors also adopted an addendum to the 2016 Plan for Awards granted to residents of Israel (the "Addendum") and resolved to elect the "Capital Gains Route" (as defined in Section 102(b)(2)) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance-5721-1961 ("Tax Ordinance") for the grant of Awards to Israeli grantees. There is also a U.S. addendum under the 2016 Plan that applies to non-qualified stock options for purposes of U.S. tax laws.
During 2022, the Company granted 1,070,401 options and restricted share units under the 2016 Plan (which constituted 1.68% of the Company issued and outstanding share capital as of December 31, 2021).
Pursuant to the terms of the acquisitions of, Nexidia, inContact, Guardian Analytics and ContactEngine, the Company assumed or replaced unvested options, RSAs and RSUs and converted them or replaced them with the Company's options, RSAs and RSUs, as applicable, based on an agreed exchange ratio. Each assumed or replaced option, RSA and RSU is subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting, exercisability and expiration, as originally applied to any such option, RSA and RSU immediately prior to the acquisition.
