In the user-interface design, modal refers to a child window /dialog that requires the user to interact with it before they can return to the parent window, because it prevents workflow in the application main window. Modal states are generally used to command user awareness, such as emergency alerts or states in the GUI.
In contrast, non-modal dialogs (including popup and banner notifications) do not require user interaction to continue workflow in the main application window. They can be disruptive, but users are not required to respond immediately.
