Pull-down menu in a table in Confluence
Asked by Leo Kelly:

Hello,

I am trying to work out a way to add a pull-down table in Confluence without using a 3rd-party tool. I see how to add a pull-down menu to a template (using the "list" function) but cannot see how to make it work in a table. Putting it directly to the side of a table would work in a pinch, but I cannot see how to do that either - it always goes to the line underneath the table.

Do you know if it is possible to do this?

Thank you!

page properties report macro showing "extension"
Asked by Agus Santosa:

a user created a page with page properties report macro. One of the columns contains a property, which is a task report macro. The issue is some users can view it, while it is displayed as "extension" for others. What could be the reason for it? The creator of the page claimed it was working a week ago, but it is now showing "extension".

Signatures are not built into Confluence Cloud.

For some use cases, you can ask each user to leave a comment on the page similar to: I have read this page and accept.

If you need a more formal workflow, you would need an addon from the marketplace. We make [Document Control for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217765/document-control-for-confluence-cloud) , and you can configure it to send an email to the signers, and record the signatures.

How to reference maxCapacity to trigger an IFTTT Integration Rule in ConfiForms?
Asked by Trevor Winge:

I am trying to create registration page for users that will have a limit on the number of registrations. The registration limit will change from time to time and I didn't want to hard code a solution in the Fire IFTTT action. The idea is to copy the registration data from one form to another form that will be used as a list of people who want to register but could not due to limit constraints.

What is the user ${addon.name} doing in space permissions?
Asked by Manja Vogel-Kautz:

Hi community ?,

I've recently migrated spaces from a Server and from a Data Center instance to Confluence Cloud. Now I'm seeing a "myterious" user in my permissions: "**${addon.name}**".

My questions:

* Does anyone know, what this user does and if I can remove it without crashing functionality?
* If I have to keep this user, does it really need space admin permissions?
* (bonus question: Do apps - which are also present as users in the space permissions - need space admin permissions or is view/create sufficient?)

Thank you and kind regards,

Manja


Answers:
author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Hi [@Manja Vogel-Kautz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5451781),

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

No, you cannot remove those users, unless you have removed the app. If you remove the user that will affect the functionality of the app.

The level of permission needed is dependent on the app, when you first set up an app it usually tells you what permissions it needs and why. You can also contact the app vender to get that information.

Again, the level of permission an app is needing is depending on what the app is doing.

How to get the time stamp in SQL table transformer of each record when added into table
Asked by Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta:

There is a SQL table transformer in which records are getting added, I want a column in which there is the time stamp when the each new record get added.

OR,

What are the other ways to just get the latest record of the Date ( mm-dd-yyyy format) is same.


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5375074) ,

You may check the "last modified" date at the top of your page for this purpose.

The Table Transformer macro can add a current date or current timestamp to your data (for example, if you need to calculate date difference between the due date and today), but not the unchangeable timestamp of each (or the last) entry.

Hope it helps your case.

comments: author: Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta
body: Thanks for your reply

But I have same date for two records instead of Age

How can I assign rank in that case.

I need to add a time stamp for each record which is unique for each record


author: Stiltsoft support
body: You may add only current time stamp or date for the whole column with the help of the Table Transformer macro (automatically, I mean). Later this current date can be compared to other dates (to calculate the difference between now and due date, for example).

But if to talk about ranking, maybe standard row autonumbering will suit you? If you add new entries only in the end of your table (you don't add rows randomly between existing rows), then the most recent entries will have the biggest row numbers. You'll use the MAX function instead of MIN and the row numbers appear automatically when you add a new table row.


author: Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta
body: What if we have same dates for two records

Name Date

John 03-13-2024

Snow 03-13- 2024

These two records are added at different time in the table

Is there any way if I get the time also or Latest among them

These records are coming from Confluence form responses


author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5375074) ,

If you have dates in your source table, you may use the following query:

![Thu 3-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/312067i42121BD27DB58A13/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 3-1.png")

SELECT 'ID', LAST('Name'), LAST('Date')  
FROM T\*  
GROUP BY 'ID'

Here we get the last entry for each unique ID.

If the dates are equal (as you can see in the source table, *John 2* and *John 3* have the same date), the last entry will be taken no matter what.

So, you'll see *John 3* in the result table:

![Thu 3-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/312068i96D40317DD2CB07F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 3-2.png")

Hope it helps your case.

How long are pages stored in the"recently viewed"/"recently worked on" list?
Asked by J?rn Donneau:

Hello,

as the title says, I would like to know how long pages are stored in the recently viewed/worked on list. Is that a fixed value?

And from this I would also like to know if this can be changed at all? E.g. keep the entries 6 months instead of 3.

Currently I need to know this for Confluence Data Center but it would be interesting for Cloud, too, if there is any difference.

Thanks

Answers:
author: Lavanya K
body: Hi [@J?rn Donneau](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4437911)

Confluence stores recently viewed pages for 90 days in 3 categories, Today, Yesterday and Older

If you would like to change the retention period for recently viewed pages, you would need to work with your Confluence administrator

It may also vary depending on the configurations set by your Confluence administrator

Best Regards

comments: author: J?rn Donneau
body: Hi Lavanya,

first of all thank you for your reply.

How can I implement an approval process that affects permissions during the creation of a new page?
Asked by Matthias Lochmann:

Hello everyone,

We use Confluence for our internal wiki.

Now I have some criticisms against using Confluence, one main problem is that the content is visible as soon as a page is published...  
I know, as long as you just press "save draft" there is no problem. But it's happened quickly that employees press "Publish" instead of "Save draft"...

But how do you ensure that the content is only available for e.g User Group "Emloyees" once the page has been approved by a manager, for example? How do you handle this use case?

Is there a way to grant access only to the creator / page owner in a first step by default? And after the approval process of the content, he can give access to a user group such as "employees" etc.? How would you handle an approval process, preferably without additional apps?  

Thank you \& Best Regards  
Matthias


Answers:
author: Richard Scholtes
body: I suggest you create pages in a restricted area of the space or in another space with just employees as users and simply move them to the public area as soon as they are approved. If you want to implement a real approval process and some automation around it, you can check the marketplace for some addons that allow you to di that.


author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Matthias Lochmann](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1513166) To expand on what [@Richard Scholtes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3879658) said, you can instruct your writers that:

1. Depending on the stage of the workflow:
   * while drafting the page, they can click the **lock** icon (left of the **Publish** button) to open the **Restrictions** modal.
   * the first time they publish the page, they should select **Only specific people can view or edit** in the **Access** list to open the **Restrictions** modal.
2. On the Restrictions modal, they can specify individuals or groups that can **view** or **view and edit** the page. You can also use these setting to hide the page from approvers until it is ready for them to review.

![RestrictPageOnPublish.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/311805iC4B31663AF56C5A9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "RestrictPageOnPublish.png")

Once the page has been approved, they can click the **lock** icon and change the selection from **Only specific people can view or edit** to **Anyone in this space can view, only some can edit** (unless you want everyone to be able to edit).

Note that, if the page has a parent page, that page must be visible to the same people for the child page to be visible.

How can I easily retrieve the Tiny URL link of a Confluence page ?
Asked by Bastien Soret:

Hello,

As you know, Confluence is set by default to display "pretty url" when the name of the page doesn't have any special character in it and the page ID when it has one.

In our documentation, we're often changing the titles of the user stories and referencing them in multiple places which makes us lose a lot of time to change the links.

We have the possibility to go in the page information, get the "Tiny URL" of the page and use it as reference link so that we don't have any issue when changing the name.

What could be an easy solution to retrieve the Tiny URL link of a Confluence page to show it directly on my page to avoid going in the page information ?


Answers:
author: Radek Dost?l
body: The tiny url should be present in each page's DOM, so my thinking is we can grab it from it.

If you open dev tools and try to run

```
document.querySelector("head > link[rel='shortlink']").href
```

it should retrieve the tiny url.

The issue is with getting it on the page - to do that dynamically for all pages, the only reasonable way I found so far was to insert some javascript to the page layout:

**Space Tools -\> Look and Feel -\> Layout -\> Main Layout (create new/edit)**

And insert:

```
<p id="tinyurl"></p>
<script>
      document.querySelector("p#tinyurl").innerText = document.querySelector("head > link[rel='shortlink']").href;
</script>
```

Below the page title, like this:

```
<h1 id="title-text" class="with-breadcrumbs">
  #if ($sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.title-text-span"))
    $sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.title-text-span")
  #else
    #pageTitleLink()
  #end
</h1>

<!-- custom tinyurl display -->
<p id="tinyurl"></p>
<script>
      document.querySelector("p#tinyurl").innerText = document.querySelector("head > link[rel='shortlink']").href;
</script>
<!-- end -->

</div>
</div><!-- \#main-header -->
        #end
```

And that results in this:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/311799i81A3F7ED0613BC37/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

Given some tweaking you could position that better. Create a link element, etc.

Alternatives would probably be global js for all Confluence, or adding html/js to an html macro, so not great. The layout seems the most reasonable to me as long as you ensure it does not throw an exception later on and break the page altogether, so making sure stuff is not undefined and such seems like a must.
