Create instance-level Analytics section under the More Nav (again)
Backgrounds
Previously, an "Analytics" item existed in the top-nav's "More" menu. This was referred to by groupoptimize as the "Analytics Workspace". It was removed in %12.6.
Problem to solve
- Currently, any instance-level analytics features live in the admin panel
- This content cannot be accessed by the majority of our users -- leading to poor usage/adoption
User experience goal
Have an instance-level analytics area accessible outside of the admin panel.
Proposal
- Add "Instance Analytics" item to the "More" dropdown in the top-nav (similar to Security section)
- In the "Instance Analytics" area, these 2 features should be available from the left-nav:
- DevOps Report (default)
- Usage Trends
- There should be an admin level setting defining whether the Instance Analytics area is visible to non-admins (formerly called
read_instance_statistics
).
In other words, revert most of the changes from these MRs:
Out of scope (future enhancements)
- No need to restore User Cohorts to the Instance Analytics area because we are moving it to Overview > Users.
- Add segments page to this section
- Replicate some key pages such as MR analytics into this area (so we can use them with segments)
