What is the difference between dialog and modal?
Dialog (dialogue): A conversation between two people. In a user interface, a dialog is a “conversation” between the system and the user. Mode: A special state of the system in which the same system has somewhat different user interfaces.
When not to use modals?
5. Do not use modal dialogs for nonessential information that is not related to the current user flow. As discussed above, modal dialogs have numerous disadvantages and costs to users. In order for these costs to be justified, their relevance to the task and importance should be high.
What's the difference between a modal and non modal view presentation?
The main difference lies in the way you can interact with each screen. While a Non-Modal Screen allows users to simply go back to the parent screen, the Modal Screen requires users to complete an action before returning to the main window (“save” in our example) or cancel the current action.
Should modals be draggable?
Modal dialogs should be movable unless you have a good reason for them to be fixed in place.
