Problem to solve

There are a couple places in the Admin interface where the word Last is used that can be hard to interpret or inconsistent. It should be replaces with "Previous" or "Recent" to improve clarity and consistency.

Further details

In the user details view in the admin area, "Last" is used to mean previous. This could be hard to interpret, since "Last" could be used to mean the same thing as "Current" in other contexts.

PreviousSignIn

In the user list view, "Last" is used to mean "Recent", and is inconsistent with other items in the drop down which do use "Recent" instead:

Users___Admin_Area___GitLab

Proposal

  • Change "Last" to "Previous" on user details view
  • Change "Last" to "Recent" on user list sort by drop down

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Less confusion when viewing the user details page and selecting sort options.
