Add message to the Environments Dashboard

Problem to solve

In #33895 (closed) we want to add a pagination to the dashboard that will allow users to navigate to a specific page and to the next or previous pages of their environments dashboard view.

Currently, the environments dashboard supports a max of 7 projects and 3 environments.

A good-enough MVC displays an informative text message stating that the user sees a limited view of the dashboard. We can later on replace the message with the pagination.

Intended users

Anyone interacting with the environments dashboard.

Proposal

  • Add a helper text message to the environments dashboard page.
  • The message should be placed under the page header.
  • The message should read (follows same pattern as the current documentation):

This dashboard displays a maximum of 7 projects and 3 environments per project. Read more

  • Helper link should point to https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/environments/environments_dashboard.html

Documentation

Testing

  • When a user navigates to the Environments dashboard, not Operations dashboard, a message will be displayed that indicates a limited subset of the projects will be displayed

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

  • We should see no impact to our SMAU as a result of this message

What is the type of buyer?

  • Premium +
