Getting a User-input-acquering VI to show in test stand

[jack@nz]

Hi guys, I am trying to write a very simple test sequence file here.

The purpose is to prompt a user to enter some serial numbers manually, then automatically check if the serial number format is correct.

I have written a simple VI that asks the user to input the serial number, and included it in the sequence as a action step.

However, when the sequence executes, the user interface wouldn't pop-up.

Question is, how do I get that user itnerface to pop-up?

TIA 😃

Did you check the 'Show Front Panel When Called' box? Did you include the Make Modal functions from the TestStand palette? Did you make the VI a dialog in the Properties>Window Options? Did you do anything to the VI?
