The "Dashboard" breadcrumb is wrong and confusing

      Jenkins recently changed the name of the root breadbrumb from "Jenkins" to "Dashboard"

      but this is confusing. whilst the root view may be a dashboard, it is also not the only dashboard. all the views / folders are really dashboards and there is nothing special about the root page that means it should be called the Dashboard (additionally plugins may create a special views that users also refer to as a dashboard).

      Another issue is context menus here apply to Jenkins instance not a "dashboard" - the drop downs for "Manage Jenkins" (or other actions applicable to Jenkins) on a "Dashboard" is just weird.

      the name should be reverted or changed to something that is not confusing

          Description Original: Jenkins recently changed the name of the root breadbrumb from "Jenkins" to "Dashboard"

          but this is wrong. whilst the root view may be dashboard, it is also not the only dashboard. all the views / folders are really dashboards and there is nothing special about the root page that means it should be called the DashBoard.

          Additionally the context menus here apply to Jenkins instance not some "dashboard"
