Status toggle

A status toggle allows a user to quickly set a status by tapping (primary action) on the desired status. Tap and drag to change the status (secondary-action) is also supported.

Usage ---

A status toggle is a good way to directly set a status on a screen, e.g. the result of a datapoint-test, home/away state, etc.
