Deployment Detail Page MVC - Deploy Approval
Release notes
You can now link directly to a deployment page within GitLab. Until now, if you were collaborating on a deployment, you had to look up the deployment from the deployment list view. This approach was error prone as identifying a deployment was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Finally, GitLab offers a deployment details view that you can link to directly. In this first version, the deployment details page offers an overview of the deployment job and the possibility to approve, reject or comment on a deployment in a continuous delivery setting. We are looking into further avenues to enhance the deployment details page, and are working on linking to it, instead of the list view, from the related pipeline job.
Problem to solve
MVC for Deployment Detail Page (or Deployment Request s... (#360503)
Intended users
User experience goal
Users can view detailed information about a specific deployment in its own page.
Proposal
MVC Proposal: Move and/or add the deployment approval action workflow and history into its own page. This can be the first iteration of the new deployment detail page.
Further details
This MVC idea came from a recent Release Stage brainstorm session discussing Deployment Detail Page (or Deployment Request s... (#360503). We decided that moving the deployment approval workflow from the Environments Page into its deployment detail page would be a great MVC for the larger Deployment Detail page feature since it is critical functionality and it makes sense for it to exist on a deployment specific page. We can then iterate on the page and continue to add more deployment specific information.
