I have 40 boolean tags. I want to have a popup when ever the boolean tag is high and should close when the tag is low.  
Each tag should have separate pop up.  
Any help would be appreciated on this

A popup for every tag seems like an antipattern, what if they all go high at once?

I know there's an alarm table which I can you but client do not want alarm table. He want's popup for it.  
If all go high at once then all the popups should be popped up.

Why not put a list of all the alarms in one popup ?

Also, customers want a lot of things, but don't always know what options they have.  
It's also your job as an integrator to guide them back to reason when they come up with silly ideas.

In this particular case, I'd suggest a dock/popup with a list of the alarms, that you can toggle from a button somewhere in your menus. Have that button show an indicator of how many alarms there are.

I _ **highly** _ recommend you convince them otherwise, but if you must implement it, look at this thread to start.
