Hi,

It's not a "pop up" - that's just a trick the report developer used to make it appear as though it's displayed over the original page. It's simply a different card of a deck with an image of the original page on it and the new content displayed also. It works really well for a demo where the original page doesn't have data that changes, but it's not a production report technique you could use in reality.

Regards,

MF.

Hi,

it is indeed a trick. I got it to work without using an image of the report as a background. I build a deck with a block containing a list. With the use of an html item I defined the dimensions of the block and positioned it so that it appears to pop up when you tap on a certain element of the report.

Hunter

Hi All,


Thanks for your replies I observed the code long back in that they provide image for table but I never thought that looks like a popup. That's Great thanks to inform and giving reply.


I did Pop previously by using HTML element and Deck but that is in same card. When I seen Telco POC I thought, there may be a different way to show popup like that. But Finally from you I got that is Image.


But My suggestion is if it is real popup that looks awesome.


Thanks Buddies
