Product discovery for default group dashboard settings in CE (follow-up)
Problem to solve
Currently, the "Group Overview content" preference is supposed to be EE-only. This means that EE and CE database laoyouts and (less important) templates will diverge more. This would increases future difficulties of making a single codebase for GitLab.
Target audience
Sasha, Software Developer, https://design.gitlab.com/research/personas#persona-sasha
Proposal
Enable "Group Overview content" preference for all CE users. Represent it as a dropdown labeled "Group Overview content"
with 2 options: "Details (default)"
and "Activity"
. Minimum tier: Core
.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Success metrics: increasing usage ping for choosing the "Activity"
option for "Group Overview content"
after releasing this feature.
Acceptance criteria: "Group Overview content" preference is available in CE for user roles including Developer
and higher, starting from Core
tier.
