Add metrics dashboard actions menu and metrics settings button

Problem to solve

  • There's no way to access Metrics settings from the Metrics dashboard, and it's difficult to find them buried in Settings > Operations > Metrics
  • There's no way to create a new dashboard from the Metrics UI. The only way to figure it out is to go to documentation and try to find this information. The "Duplicate dashboard" action isn't very discoverable when it's not a part of the "Create dashboard" flow.
  • Custom and default dashboard has distinct actions (e.g add metric, duplicate dashboard, edit dashboard), we should strive for a unified design for both dashboards if possible

Proposal

Default dashboard controls Custom dashboard controls
MVC_-Default_Dashboard_Menu-_Create_New MVC_-_Custom_Dashboard_Menu
  • Add settings button to metrics dashboard toolbar - only visible to users that have access to project settings (i.e. project Maintainers and Admin users)
  • Add + dropdown button and corresponding dropdown buttons to metrics dashboard toolbar
  • Add tooltips as shown in Figma designs

Note: Removing the duplicate current dashboard button from the dashboards dropdown is not in scope of this issue. There's a follow-up issue for that.

Is this a cross-stage feature?
