In normal Advisor workflow, JIA loads and launches a JAS Interaction in a Guidance Popup in invisible mode. The popup becomes visible to the user only when a Show Guidance element is present at the beginning of the Interaction.

The following API is used to control the visibility of the popup from JIA:

void ShowPopup();

This API allows the JIA developer to show the popup with the currently loaded Interaction according to the display settings defined in JIA (Popup Visual Configuration).

Note: There is only one copy of the Guidance Popup per project. Visibility and display settings of the popup can be controlled by both the JIA developer (both in RT and design time - app.config) and the JAS designer.
There is no queuing mechanism for display settings and visibility requests. The last request overrides all the previous ones. The Show Popup API should therefore be used with caution.
