Certain UI components are displayed within pop-up windows. A common characteristic +for all these components is that they are temporary states This means that +typically back stepping from one state to the previous state does not lead +into pop-up windows; they are skipped.

+Pop-up components + + + +Component +Description + + + + +

Options menu

+

The commands and options that are available in the current context +can be accessed via the Options menu. It is displayed as a list in +a pop-up window.

+
+ +

Query

+

A query is a component where the software requests user input. All +query components are displayed in pop-up windows. They consist of a prompt +(possibly containing a graphical element) and some kind of an input component. +Various types of queries exist:

    +
  • A Confirmation query has either one or two possible input values, given +by using the softkeys.

  • +
  • A List query has a limited number of possible input values, and the +user selects one from a list.

  • +
  • A multi-selection List query has a limited number of possible input +values, and the user can select zero, one or more of them in one pass.

  • +
  • A Data query contains an input field for a numeric or alphanumeric +value that the user can edit.

  • +
+
+ +

Note

+

A note is a feedback component that informs the user about the current +situation. They contain a text and possibly a graphical element, and their +layout is similar to a Confirmation query. However, the softkey labels do +typically not exist, as notes do not require user input and by default they +disappear within a time-out.

+
+ +

Soft notification

+

Soft notifications are reminders that inform the user of events +that have typically occurred during the user's absence. Soft notifications +can only be seen in the Idle state, and the user can acknowledge them. There +are two types of soft notifications; the layouts resemble those of Confirmation +queries and List queries:

    +
  • A single soft notification contains one notification.

  • +
  • A grouped soft notification contains a number of information items +presented as a list, and a title text common to all of the items.

  • +
+
+ +

Call window

+

Incoming calls and outgoing calls are presented in pop-up windows.
