Need some help on POP-UP!!!

Question

Hi, 
 Is there any functionality in Appian to show pop-up?? 
 If not, how can we show a pop-up without using interface and button confirmation??

Thanks in advance, 
 Gousii.

I will post an article on my blog soon. It includes an example of how to show a pop-up window in Appian. This is not rocket science, you just have to hide your UI and show a card layout with shadows enabled instead. 
 Find the example below: 
 a!localVariables(
 local!showPopup: false,
 {
 a!sectionLayout(
 showWhen: not(local!showPopup),
 contents: {
 a!textField(
 label: "Text",
 ),
 a!paragraphField(
 label: "Paragraph",
 ),
 a!buttonArrayLayout(
 buttons: {
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "Show Popup!",
 icon: "arrow-right",
 value: true,
 saveInto: local!showPopup,
 style: "PRIMARY"
 )
 },
 align: "CENTER"
 )
 },
 ),
 a!columnsLayout(
 showWhen: local!showPopup,
 columns: {
 a!columnLayout(),
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: {
 a!cardLayout(
 marginAbove: "EVEN_MORE",
 showBorder: false,
 showShadow: true,
 contents: {
 a!sectionLayout(
 contents: {
 a!richTextDisplayField(
 labelPosition: "COLLAPSED",
 value: {
 a!richTextItem(
 text: {
 "This is a fake popup window!"
 },
 size: "MEDIUM_PLUS"
 ),
 char(10),
 char(10),
 "And shows some text to the user."
 }
 )
 },
 divider: "BELOW"
 ),
 a!buttonLayout(
 primaryButtons: {
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "OK",
 icon: "check",
 style: "PRIMARY",
 value: false,
 saveInto: local!showPopup
 )
 },
 secondaryButtons: {
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "Cancel",
 icon: "times",
 style: "NORMAL",
 value: false,
 saveInto: local!showPopup
 )
 }
 )
 },
 )
 }
 ),
 a!columnLayout()
 },
 )
 }
)

Hi Shaik, if you want to show any interface as a pop up then create actions to that particular record and attach an interface to that action.
And in case you just want a pop-up interface for confirmation purposes before completing an action or moving to another interface then use
"comfirmHeader" parameter available in a!buttonWidget() component.

Only option in that case is a Record Action that opens in a dialog.
