Dialog

The Dialog macro allows you to create Atlassian user Interface styled dialogs that are triggered using a button. The dialog macro is used in combination with the Button Hyperlink macro and the Span macro. Using this combination of macros you create a popup box with options that can lead to different locations. You can customise the look of the dialog using our CSS Style Sheet macro.
