## Motivation
Newcomers to openQA on a fresh instance with no jobs should have an easily discoverable step what to try next after bringing up an instance. Let's provide them a simple button to trigger some example tests.
## Acceptance criteria
* **AC1:** Have a discoverable way for newcomers how to trigger openQA example jobs over the webUI
* **AC2:** By default the user does not need to customize any settings and can rely on a default test repository
## Suggestions
* See what was done in https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/5914
* Add a "+" button probably in the menu bar or a floating + button and provide screenshots in a draft PR
* Add a new blank page offering to schedule example tests
* Use https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-example/blob/main/.github/workflows/openqa.yml#L26 with the "schedule" API route
* Make the default tests repo configurable (for an admin to set, not in the web UI)
## Further details
* openQA instances which already have jobs don't need to show the "+" button but it shouldn't harm to still display it and allow access to the feature.
* See #21032
