Make navigating to the individual environment page more obvious

Problem Overview

It is not not obvious to users that blue headers of the environments are links leading to the environment detail page:

Screen_Recording_2022-09-28_at_17.01.02

That also contributes to a problem of having too much information on the environments index page: some of it could me moved to the individual environment page, but it doesn't even come up because not all users even know this page exists.

Supporting Evidence

From the Release usability benchmarking study:

From the Category Maturity Scorecard study for Environment Management:

  • Users need an easier way to navigate to the environment details page (Dovetail link with supporting data)
    • Participants weren’t always aware that you could click on the environment name to land on a page with additional details about the deployment. One participant only learned about this through reading our documentation.

Proposal / Action

  • Replace the collapse tertiary button with a collapse primary default button.
