Team creation in Confluence
Asked by Marta Escolano Serrano:

Hello, I need to create a team.

I need it because I need to assign several tasks to more than one person. So I asked to pforge IPT and they told me that the solution was to create a team with the people I needed to mention on the task.

I went to Atlassian support page ( <https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/start-an-atlassian-team/>) and it explains how to do it.

![Atlassian support.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/260465iD44211E0893F91BE/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Atlassian support.JPG")

But then, on my Confluence profile page, I cannot find the "team" option; if I go to "people" menu, I cannot see the option "to create a team", or "teams" option. Neither on my profile options...

![Confluence People Profile.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/260466iE665707C31F2AAD0/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence People Profile.JPG")

Can somebody thelp me?

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The page you referenced is applicable to Cloud products. Are you using Confluence Cloud? If you access Confluence with a URL that is similar to the following then you are using Confluence Cloud.

https://\<something\>.atlassian.net

If that is not similar to your URL, then you are using a self-hosted Confluence product (Server or Data Center) and the document your found does not apply to your environment.

comments: author: Marta Escolano Serrano
body: Hello [@Trudy Claspill](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3569011) , thanks for the clarification.

Yes, I think I am using a self-hosted Confluence.

Is there any way I can create a team in this case?

Thanks again!


author: Trudy Claspill
body: No, it doesn't appear that there is any way to do that.

I have not found any documentation about functionality for having "teams" in Confluence server/data center.

I checked to see if you could mention a User Group in Confluence or assign a single task to multiple users, and I found that neither is supported. There are change requests for both.

Label shown twice in Labels List Makro
Asked by Petra Hasler:

Hello,   
I am not sure whether there is already an answer somewhere in the community to this question. I have the problem that in the Labels List Makro, one Label is shown twice. When I click on it, the exact same pages are shown.   
Is there a way on how to solve this issue so that the label is only shown once?   

Thanks and best regards

I think it's a known issue. You can vote on the below suggestions and update your comment.

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-37870>

comments: author: Kimberly Stevens
body: CONFCLOUD-37870 refers to a different problem, "The macro currently includes results for pages that have been deleted which can be confusing."

There is a comment on that ticket that addresses this problem but I could not see where the problem of the same label being listed multiple times by the Labels List Macro is being worked on.

I am also having this problem.

Why can my coworker not edit the confluence page even tough I set the restrictions to open.
Asked by Julian Schinke:

I have a problem where a coworker can't edit the page even tough restrictions are set to open or with the person's name as specified editor. Is this some kind of bug?  

Does someone know a solution?   

She does not see the editing pen in the top right corner.   

Many thanks for your help.


Answers:
author: Manoj Gangwar
body: Hi [@Julian Schinke](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5232146) ,

Please check if there is an restriction inherited from Parent page. Then add the user to parent page restriction access as well.

Please refer to the below links.

Space Permissions- <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html>

Page Restrictions- <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html>

author: Julian Schinke
body: Hi Manoj   

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the user was already added to the parent page. It seems to be an other problem.


author: Markus Fred?n
body: Hi Julian,

I think some more information is needed here.

Is the co-worker able to log in and if so can he/she create a new page?

If not then it might be a case of adding this co-worker to a group that gives application access to Confluence.

Are you using Jira as a user directory? If so then you might need to modify the global permissions there.

Best regards,

Markus

How can i convert dates to UTC?
Asked by Jasper Rich:

Hi all,

i try to convert the entry._now timestamp in a ConfiForm to a utc date like that:

\[entry._now.convertDate(yyyy-MM-dd H:mm:ss, UTC)\]

\[entry._now.formatDate(yyyy-MM-dd H:mm:ss, UTC)\]

The outcome is a unix timestamp e.g. " 1685458416008".

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks a lot

Jasper

body: Hi [@Jasper Rich](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5232059) and welcome to this community

You are doing everything correctly, it looks like the change to support the timezones in the convertDate has not been ported to server version (while the docs say otherwise)

Sorry about that

We will fix that asap

A Graph in Chart from table doesn't appear on iOS and Android
Asked by Dirk Oltersdorf:

I have deployed a graph in a Confluece Cloud page along with several tables. On laptop and PC it is displayed flawlessly on Windows and Mac computers.

When opening the same page in the Conflucence Cloud app on iOS or Android devices, the graph is not displayed and I get the following error message:

We've hit a snag  
The issue resolve on its own, but if it keeps happening, ask your admin to contact our support team and give them:

If we are talking about the [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-chart-from-table-macro-42239655.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro provided by the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app (that is our add-on), then I'm afraid that nothing can be done to resolve the issue: Confluence Cloud app doesn't support any add-ons at all.

Hello Everyone, In my company, the HR using Vikarina virtual machine.
Asked by Lekhana Nagaraj Pushpa _C_:

Hello Everyone, In my company, the HR using Vikarina virtual machine. However they are not able to download/copy any of the reports they generate from HR system to our PC and viceversa. Could anyone help on this. Thanks in advance.


Answers:

How are they trying to "download" reports? What are the reports in Confluence they are trying to download?

comments: author: Lekhana Nagaraj Pushpa _C_
body: Thank you for the response. Like any kind of file, example excel or word. They cannot copy from VM to local machine. Advised to store in one drive and view. Application is not interfaced to copy paste. May be the term downlaod shouldn't be considered.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence does not provide reports as excel or word, so I have to ask what you really mean by "report" in Confluence? What are you actually trying to download?


author: Lekhana Nagaraj Pushpa _C_
body: That is not the application i am referring when i searched for more information it lead me to this community to ask question. The application i was refering to is Vikarina virtual machine.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I think you may be asking the wrong people then. We're an Atlassian forum. Vikarina is not an Atlassia application.

My best guess is that they use Atlassian software for their documentation, issue tracking, and source control, and you have clicked on "help with doc system" rather than "help with Vikarina"
Convert absolute paths to relative links
Asked by Margaret Hassall:

We have hundreds of pages that we publish to a local and a remote server using Comala. Some of those pages contain links from one to another. Have just discovered that some users have used absolute URLs in their links that obviously work locally but not on the remote server. Pages names are all the same but the base URL is different.

Is there a script or some way we can bulk convert the URLs in the original pages to all be relative?


Answers:
author: Jamie Esker _Appfire_
body: Hi [@Margaret Hassall](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3959556) ,

I am the Product Marketing Manager for Comala products. I'm sorry to hear you are having issues. I suggest contacting our [support team](https://support.comalatech.com/) to help you troubleshoot this issue. They should be able to help you customize your workflow to perform this action.

Thank you,

Jamie Esker

comments: author: Margaret Hassall
body: Thanks for the response. I don't think Comala workflow is our problem - our people put the wrong links in and I was hoping to change them in bulk with some sort of script.

Or are you suggesting that Comala can do some sort of check before it publishes remotely? That would be handy.

How can I request "was this helpful" feedback from my users?
Asked by Becky Rudeseal:

I want to allow people reading the content in my Confluence spaces to give quick satisfaction feedback on each article (ie, "Was this helpful?"). Ideally, this would take the form of a thumbs up or down, stars, or some other quick CSAT indicator.

I've been doing a lot of searching and reviewing Confluence apps in the marketplace and I can't find a third party that does this for Confluence cloud, and frankly I'm surprised this feature isn't built into a documentation system.

Where do I go from here? I need to be able to collect feedback and support my internal customers appropriately.

Thanks!

comments: author: Becky Rudeseal

Nested tables in Confluence Cloud

Dynamic queries on jira charts
Asked by Valeria Colome:

Hello everyone! I am looking for a way to add dynamic JQL queries to my Confluence page. I am using the Jira Charts macros but I want the charts to be updated week by week but keeping the past weeks there.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Files within a panel and attachment macro being uploaded to each subsequent panel
Asked by Christa Klingensmith:

I have a file repository page that has 4 sections for different types of resources. Currently, the files I upload in one panel and attachment macro end up uploading to each section. I only want them listed in the appropriate section of the page. How do I keep the sections partitioned off so that the files only go to the one panel that I upload them to?

I have made sure not to copy and paste the sections or macros. I have tried doing individual panels as well as panels within an encompassing panel (and the attachment macro within the sub panel).

Any advise on how to keep these sections partitioned off so that files are only listed under the one section where they are uploaded?


Answers:
author: Craig Nodwell

We want a panel with attachments for Foundational files (policies, guidelines, procedures), Technical Support Files, Clinical Resources (workflows, decision trees) and Research Resources. So I want each file to stay only in their one designated section. Right now if I upload a file to Foundational section, it also shows up in the panels for all the other sections.

Does that help clarify?

Link to Published page
Asked by TK TK:

Hi,

I have a page named 'Checklist' with links to 10 or more other published pages. Then I have to publish 'Checklist' page. Sometimes the 10 linked pages also have links to other published pages.

I have to manually update the links from 'Draft' page to 'Published' page several times during this process and sometimes very close to the deadline. So I'm looking for options to see

* If there a programmatic/API way to link the draft page to published page  

* If the page is not yet published, is there a way to identify the published page link  

* Any other recommendations to solve or automate the links to published page?

And once a page is published, does the published link remain the same with updated versions or does it change?  

Thanks  
TK


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@TK TK](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5231633) and welcome to Community. Looks like you question got missed back in May.

I'm going to assume you are on Cloud. If I understand correctly, you are working on multiple pages in draft mode, but want to be able to link to them.

Here is a way to ad a placeholder link, as explained [in this documentation](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/):

Sometimes you want to link to a Confluence page that doesn't exist yet. To do this, you can add an undefined link and come back to it later. When you select on the link, Confluence will create a draft page with that title for you to then add content to and publish when you're ready.

### Create an undefined placeholder page link {#toc-hId-2087302367}

1. Type \[Placeholder Page Name\]().   
   This follows the syntax as the keyboard shortcut for adding defined links \[Link\] (<http://a.com>).

2. Press Enter or Return to create the placeholder.

3. Select **Close** to keep the page as a DRAFT or select **Publish...** or **Update**.

*** ** * ** ***

The only other idea that comes quickly to mind would be to display the 10 page links with the content by label macro, and then to add custom labels to the pages you want to display. Anytime you add a label to a page, the "table of contents" page would be automatically updated, so when drafts are finally published they will appear.

And yes, page urls stay the same when you update them, even if you change the title of the page.
