Interactive example
When to use
Display a status tag to show the status of an item in an application. For example, status tags could be used to show if a system is online or offline, if a document has been actioned or approved, or if a displayed train network is currently active or not.
Filled
Filled status tags use the status colours to denote the type of status tag.
Use filled status tags to convey emphasis and importance.
Outlined
Outlined status tags use a lighter colour variation of the relevant status colour.
Use outlined status tags to provide emphasis to less important items.
When not to use
Don't use status tags to display anything other than status, use
Don't use a mix of filled and outlined status tags when using them together.
Layout and placement
When components are used together the size of the components should match. For example, a default sized status tag should be used with a default sized input component.

Labels
Use adjectives in the status tag label over verbs. Verbs may indicate to a user that by clicking on them the tag will be interactive.
Text in tags should be all capitals to increase readability.
Use the right status tag type that is relevant to the label. Don't use labels which convey different information to what the status colour conveys.
Use concise labels for better readability. Longer labels will force the text to wrap.
