Set user availability (MVC)

Release notes

Problem to solve

  • From: #33801 (closed)
  • There is no standardised way for users to show that they are busy
  • There is no standardised way to determine whether users are available to review MRs (as described here: &3920)

User experience goal

Now

  • Let users signal and see if they are busy via the status update UI

Later

  • Add busy data to
    • project/group members lists
    • Issue/MR/Epic author in list view and detail view
    • Author name in Analytics data tables
  • Figure out reviewer type signal for reviewers/maintainers
  • Link from MR to this list to streamline manual search
  • Pull reviewer availability data into MR to streamline automated search
  • Give an indication that user is busy and warn users trying to get in touch Also, am I correct in assuming that these cases will not have the (Busy) appended?

Proposal

  1. Add busy checkbox in user settings and modal
a. User settings b. Modal
User_settings_page Status_modal
  1. Add busy (text only) next to user names & avatars...
a. Popover b. Navbar c. Inline comment d. user profile e. Sidebar popover f. Sidebar dropdown g. User comment
Popover Nav_dropdown Inline_commenting User_profile CleanShot_2020-10-15_at_17.01.01 CleanShot_2020-10-15_at_17.01.16 CleanShot_2020-10-15_at_17.03.54
  1. Add confirmation toast after status modal user flow...
