Hi Experts,
I need help in figuring out where "windowClass" in $uibModal is configured. I cannot find the CSS defined for it.
For example in the below codes "windowClass: 'chat-us' " & "windowClass: 'app-modal-window'" are styling the modal pop in different ways and location.
1. c.openModal = function() {
c.modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
windowClass: "chat-us",
templateUrl: 'Chat-us-feedback',
scope: $scope
});
}
And
2. c.openModal = function() {
c.modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
windowClass: "app-modal-window",
templateUrl: 'contactIT -helpdesk',
scope: $scope
});
}
Thanks for the help.
Best Regards,
Anu

Hi Anu,
windowClass is $uibModal's option parameter and its not specific to Servicenow. It is specific to Angular bootstarp. Please refer Angular Modals (scroll down to the Modals)
You can create your own CSS class and use that in windowClass.
Please mark this helpful/correct, if applicable.

Hi Muhammad,
I created my own CSS record under CSS for my modal, but somehow it is not working, is there a way to link the widget and CSS record?

You can define your CSS in the widget's CSS.

Hi anu,
modal windows are not stored in any tables it's an angular directive which is used to customise pop up from client script or from client controllers in widget.
In that template or template URL are nothing but the content which needs to be displayed on the modal window.
Template : can be an angular ng-template tagged to your widget
templateURL :can be the URL where your HTML is rendered (can be a UI page too)
To check that navigate to UI pages and search with matching ENDPOINT or the UI page name
Here is the explanation for all the options or parameters that $uib modal can accept(I just highlighted the explanation for the template and templateUrl options or parameters below)
$uibModal's open function
options parameter
-
animation
(Type:boolean
, Default:true
) - Set to false to disable animations on new modal/backdrop. Does not toggle animations for modals/backdrops that are already displayed. -
appendTo

: Example:$document.find('aside').eq(0)
) - Appends the modal to a specific element. -
ariaDescribedBy
(Type:string
,my-modal-description
) - Sets thearia-describedby
property on the modal. The value should be an id (without the leading#
) pointing to the element that describes your modal. Typically, this will be the text on your modal, but does not include something the user would interact with, like buttons or a form. Omitting this option will not impact sighted users but will weaken your accessibility support. -
ariaLabelledBy
(Type:string
,my-modal-title
) - Sets thearia-labelledby
property on the modal. The value should be an id (without the leading#
) pointing to the element that labels your modal. Typically, this will be a header element. Omitting this option will not impact sighted users but will weaken your accessibility support. -

) - Controls presence of a backdrop. Allowed values:true
(default),false
(no backdrop),'static'
(disables modal closing by click on the backdrop). -

Alternatively you can use SpModal modal API provided by service now which is much easier to understand than uib modal
Refer to the below link for all the methods that sp Modal provides and how you can pass parameters into spModal.
Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.
