02 Types of Modals

A modal window is a child window that displays on top of the parent content. While the modal is open, the content behind the window is disabled. Titan offers three types of modals that can be used and styled.
  • First, the modal element can be found under the Containers tab.

  • Second is the modal frame that can display a project page.
  • The third is a system modal that displays information like confirmation or warning messages. The first and second modal types store data. The content design is entirely up to you.
The system modals have a set structure but can change the text.

03 The Modal Element

You can insert any element from the element menu. However, the structure of the modal is set. All elements inserted will display in a stack.

If you need to insert the elements next to each other in a row, insert a container into the modal, allowing you to place your elements in parallel.
