Togle is a cloud-based time tracking tool that allows users to record their activities. It is available on a variety of platforms, including desktop and mobile phones. It also features precise reporting capacity.
Simple UI Components That Make A Big Impact On User Experience
Toggling switches are commonly used on websites and apps to help users decide between opposing settings. When designing toggle switches, use direct labels and standard visual design to ensure that they provide clear, straightforward information.
Consider Adding a Button Role to Toggle Switches
A button is an element that can be used to perform actions or to open dialogs. When a button is pressed, focus should move to that element depending on what function the button performs in its current context.
Adding a button role to toggle switches helps assistive technology, such as screen readers, know that the elements are buttons and can therefore perform the button functions they’re intended to. A button can be a
Add Toggle Labels and Use Visual Cues to Avoid Confusion
Ensure that all toggle labels are clearly defined. They should include both the on and off states, and they should be clearly distinguishable from other controls that have similar labels. They should look like sliders with movement and color, so that the user can easily understand what they’re supposed to do when they click a button.
Consider Using an In-Memory Toggle Configuration System
Toggle configurations are often complex and can contain multiple paths to the same state (think feature flags). If a team does not have the ability to dynamically re-configure toggles at runtime then this can create quite a burden when performing tests or otherwise interacting with a toggle in production.
Many teams are moving away from static files and using a more distributed approach to managing toggle configurations, often building out some kind of centralized DB where features flags are stored. This can help to ensure consistency across a fleet of servers and reduce the amount of effort required to perform toggle configuration changes.
This can also be an ideal way to manage product-centric toggles which might need to remain in place for an extended period of time, such as Release Toggles.
Dynamic re-configuration of feature flags is an essential part of any agile testing process and can be very difficult to implement with traditional hardcoding approaches.
There are several ways to do this, ranging from relatively simplistic approaches which allow a small number of dynamic changes through to more sophisticated ones with a lot of extra complexity.
The simplest approach to managing toggle configuration is to use an API endpoint that exposes a set of service instances which are responsible for re-configuring particular feature flags. This can be done at build-time or in-memory (depending on the specifics of the application) and is a very powerful tool for ensuring consistency.
Another option is to simply hardcode toggle configuration into the service instances themselves, but this can be a very fiddly and time-consuming operation for many large organizations.
