Explore improving banners and other awareness communication on dashboards

Problem to solve

On the dashboards, there is an increasing need to alert and communicate: activity, actions needed, and awareness messages. Examples: configuration awareness banner (#200003 (comment 294386792)), auto-created MRs banner (#36500 (closed)), and #208489. In the first two cases, we are relying on banners to display the message. This will push down the vulns table and could result in cases where the list is displaying multiple banners. We don't want banners to get in the way of workflow task and/or cause clutter to the page; but we want to make sure users are aware of these scenarios.

Solution ideation

Let’s audit our messaging in all forms currently and possible upcoming and list them in this issue. Then ideate on how we can better display these cases.
