What does the component do?

• It dims the current view and puts a modal dialogue over it.

When should the component be used?

• When the user’s attention is required.
• When information/input is required from the user.
• When related content is to be displayed.
• When additional content is to be displayed.
• The component is not suitable for error messages, warnings or similar notifications.

Rules

• The user must always have the option of closing the modal dialogue.
• Any modal dialogue consists of a header (close icon and title) and content.
• The content must contain at least an interaction element (e.g. ‘save’ or ‘OK’).
• The modal dialogue cannot be used for error messages.
• The width and height of the dialogue is determined by the size of the content.
• A minimum space from the screen edge must be kept.
• The modal dialogue is closed if the dimmed section is clicked on.
• If the content is too big, a full-screen modal dialogue can be selected: see page types.

Accessibility
