If a Popup of one id is opened when we click on the perspective row in the table and if we want to open new popup we should close this popup .But Is it possible if we click another row in the table automatically this popup should be closed?

The Perspective popups have a "background dismissable" option. If you enable that then clicking anywhere outside the popup causes it to close.

You can use **system.perspective.openPopup** function to open popup widow and assign the  
[modal](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.perspective.openPopup#:~:text=Boolean-,modal,-%2D%20Makes%20the) parameter to True.
