Dialog

A dialog is a customizable view that is placed over a standard view and often used for user confirmation or data entry. Dialogs can be opened and closed using the Open dialog and Close dialog action nodes respectively.

Example

A dialog example is available in our Showroom. You can view the demo, as well as access the setup in Appfarm Create. Don't have access? Register.
