Simplifying navigation to the project overview

What is this issue about?

In looking at how our left nav menu works with respect to the top-level navigation menu #225465 (closed), it was noticed that the "Project overview > Details" page has 3 paths to it. It is not necessarily a negative thing to have multiple paths to one area but in this scenario the 3 links are in close proximity to one another. This gives us an opportunity to consolidate some options to remove the redundancy.

Proposal

  • Projects
    • Clicking on the Project header item will land on the current "details" view. This view changes depending on what is enabled.
      • Add active state for project name and avatar when user is on home/main of project
    • Change the home icon to project icon
    • Change label to Project information
  • Groups
    • Clicking on the Group header item will land on the current "details" view. This view changes depending on what is enabled.
      • Add active state for project name and avatar when user is on home/main of project
    • Change the home icon to group icon
    • Change label to Group information

This change aligns with some other work around updating the left nav styling #322680 (closed) and changing the interaction pattern of making the top-level menu item the landing page #225465 (closed).

Testing

Please include a SET in MR review to ensure QA tests are updated to use the new label.
