tamaki.mes.utils.openNonModal

Description

Opens a non-modal Perspective popup. Like openModal, a random UUID is generated and passed to the popup view as popupId (and popupType is set to 'popup'). Because it is non-modal, the popup stays open until it is explicitly closed by the operator: useful for keeping a popup open while the user interacts with the rest of the screen.

Must be run in a Perspective session scope.

Syntax

tamaki.mes.utils.openNonModal(path, params)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Nullable	Description
path	String	False	The path to the view used as the popup. It must accept the input parameters popupId plus params.
params	Dict	True	The parameters to pass to the popup view. popupId does not need to be included. May be None.

Returns

A String: the generated UUID used as the popup id (useful for closing it later).

Code Examples

popupId = tamaki.mes.utils.openNonModal(
    "TamakiMES/_popups/AccessDenied",
    {"message": "You do not have permission to perform this action."}
)
