Suggestion: tweak the layout of the workspaces page

[madwort]

quick UI anecdote from using airlock as a user. Caveats apply: I think the UI is clear as soon as you engage brain, this is nits and/or how to spark joy type comments. Also I’m not a typical user, so my experience isn’t necessarily worth acting on!

So I just ran a job , then went to airlock to get my results, went to the workspaces page & was presented with a long list covering 3 screens. Which is sorted by org, then by archived, then workspace_name - so although I knew the name of the workspace I wanted, in the first moment of looking at the page it presented to me as “unordered”… I scrolled around for a bit, it was a bit annoying, then I used the browser’s search…

First thought - I’m probably an outlier here, how much of an outlier am I? (has anyone done the stats?) I feel like it could be more intuitive with just a small tweak, wdyt about one table with three columns, with amended sort order: archived, org, workspace_name? Or two tables with two columns - table for active, table for archived, two cols org & workspace_name? when researchers in multiple orgs think of a workspace, do they think first of the org name or the workspace name?

Secondly thought was - is it the case that a lot of the use of the workspace page will be when someone’s recently run a job - could we show the timestamp of the most recent job run in that workspace? and/or sort by that timestamp?
