Job details page: An (obvious) way to navigate back to jobs overview/list
As a user browsing the job details page I caught myself multiple times now looking for a button "back to jobs list" but could not found one and wound up changing the address directly.
There are two means at the moment:
- the
Xin the upper right corner (like in Jenkin's Blue Ocean)
- pressing the Escape key
Would a different symbol instead of the X help?
Would a different symbol instead of the X help? Definitely. I cannot remember recognizing it. :confused:
Also, the first place I was looking for something like that was the upper left corner. The space is (like Jenkins) currently unused.
What else would make sense here? Other than an X I mean?
- Quick switch to other jobs from that branch
[menu]
- | back to jobs |
- | -divider- |
- | my-branch.4 |
- | my-branch.3 | <-- page I'm currently on
- | my-branch.2 |
- | my-branch.1 |
Here are some points that could make this better.
- Add a logical separation for the navigation elements.
- Align navigation to the left following the F-pattern for screen reading.
- Use a more relevant icon to describe the action of going back to the dashboard, see left arrow.
- Group and order navigation items per hierarchy.
| BEFORE | AFTER |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
The View all button could renamed per need, for example to Dashboard.
