Description

We need to step back on our decision to remove the greeting message from the dashboard after the user leaves the page.

We should always display a page title, for accessibility reasons and also to make the experience more solid when navigating through the primary navigation.

My initial idea was to always keep the greeting message in the dashboard even when the user browses away from the page and come back later. I'm aware that this option was already discussed and denied in the past, so I suggest we change the page title from the greeting to "Dashboard" when the user comes back to this page.

So, when the user logs in the greeting would be the dashboard title (as it is right now):

Then, if the user goes away from the dashboard and comes later (in the same session), the title of the page would be "Dashboard":
