Workspaces and Billing Plan
Asked by MAPS SPA:

I would like to create a workspace for each Business Unit of my company.

I signed up for the standard plan but only the account workspace shows the correct billing plan with the credit card number. All new workspaces use the free plan.

Is it possible to have one billing plan with a common user list distributed across more than one workspace ? Or, at least, one billing plan for each workspace but with a common list of users?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Theodora Boudale
body: Hello,

Each workspace has its own billing plan that is separate than the billing plan of any other workspace you may administer. I'm afraid that it is not possible to have a billing plan distributed in more than one workspace or have a billing plan for each workspace with a common list of users.

If you create e.g. 3 workspaces, all 3 of them in a paid plan, and there are users that need to have access to all 3 of them, then you'd get billed 3 times for each one of these users.

To avoid this, you could create a single workspace and group the repositories into projects:

* <https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/group-repositories-into-projects/>

Then, in this workspace's **Settings** \> **User groups**, create a user group for each Business Unit of the company and invite users to each one as needed.

When you create each user group, make sure to select **Default repository access** as **None**. This way no user group will get automatically added to any new repositories.

When you create a new repository, you can go to its **Settings** \> **User and group access** , and add in the **Groups** section only the user groups that should have access to this specific repo.

Is this something that works for you?

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,  
Theodora

Table transformer issue
Asked by P Al:

Hello

I am trying to use the table transformer to set backg colour based on value of a column. But I keep getting an unknown macro : "cell" Error ..

My table has 2 columns -

Status and Output. Status has the values BLOCKED \& NEW

SQL query I am using in the table transformer is :

SELECT T1.'Status',  
FORMATWIKI("{cell.bgColour=" +  
CASE WHEN T1.'Status' = "BLOCKED" THEN "#FA7E70"  
ELSE "#8FCA7D"  
END  
+"}" + T1.'Output' + "{cell}")  
AS 'Output'  
From T1

Am using confluence 7.17

Please can you help.. thanks


Answers:
author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi @P AI,  

Your SQL query is not correct:  

SELECT T1.'Status',  
FORMATWIKI("{**cell:bgColor** =" +  
CASE WHEN T1.'Status' = "BLOCKED" THEN "#FA7E70"  
ELSE "#8FCA7D"  
END  
+"}" + T1.'Output' + "{cell}")  
AS 'Output'  
From T1  

Please pay attention to the **cell:bgColor** function. In your variant it looked like **cell.bgColour** that causes errors and prevents the background coloring. Otherwise your query is good.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community. Looking at the image you shared, I can confirm you are on Confluence Server or DC (self hosted by your organisation).

As such I'll recommend asking for who your confluence administrator is so they can help you here.

Depending on how users are provisioned, you may not be allowed to change your password so this person will be in the best position to assist you.

couldn't attach an excel file to the confluence page?
Asked by Oshada Ranasinghe:

Error rendering macro 'viewxls' : Failed to retrieve attachment with name Data dictionary.xlsx

Hi Guys,

I tried to embed an excel file on the page via a macro but it gave me the above error. There is no issue with the filename and the excel sheet has been attached to the page

Any Suggestions?

It looks like this question was answered in the community a while back. There are a couple of reasons this may be happening. Do you happen to have a special character in the page title or file name? That may be why you are getting this error. Try removing the special characters (or even numbers) in your page title or file name and try again. If this does not resolve your problem, please let me know and I'll try to help more.

a macro to report on child pages which are MISSING a label
Asked by Court Crawford:

I've seen several macros which can parse a node of Confluence space and its children based on the PRESENCE of a label.

I need a report that will find all child pages of a specific node that are MISSING a label.

My workgroup seems to find creative ways of bypassing a template for a document library. The scale of the problem is such that manually parsing through every page would be almost impossibly inefficient, and does nothing to prevent future bypassing of the template and the need to once again parse every child page of an ever expanding node in the Confluence deployment.

I will also need some way of reporting on the ABSENCE of a macro in a page, but that's got to be another topic.


Answers:

How to prevent escaping of backslash when pasting markdown codeblock?
Asked by Adam Lewandowski:

Some time within the last month or so, Confluence's behavior when pasting in a markdown codeblock changed such that any backslash characters are being doubled up (each backslash in the source text results in two backslashes in the resulting codeblock on the page).

We use the codeblock syntax to post command-lines, which is convenient for copy-paste using the 'copy' button. But the 'escaping'(?) of the backslashes negates this utility. As far as I can tell, there is no way to prevent this. No matter what I do, the backslashes are doubled up inside the code block.

For example, if I copy the literal text below on to my clipboard:

````
```
commandline with a \
```?
````

Then paste it (as plain text) into the current Confluence editor, the resulting code block looks like this:  
![codeblock.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/235120i5993270552E717CD/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "codeblock.png")

Like I said, this only started happening recently. In the past this has pasted without issue. Is there any way to disable this behavior?


Answers:
author: Mike Walter
body: A bug ticket has been created. <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-75244>


author: Connor
body: Hi [@Adam Lewandowski](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2211019) I tried every variation of your example I could think of and I wasn't able to get it to paste without the double backslash. The only way was to create the code snippet first and paste the command without the enclosing back ticks into it. Which obviously isn't ideal as it's more work than simply copy/pasting the markdown.

If this was working for you previously I suggest opening a support ticket with Atlassian. Maybe this is a new bug, or maybe they recently changed the behavior for some reason.

Page Content Translates to English
Asked by ??kran Demir?al?:

Hi,

The page content changes from Turkish to English when updating the page and it has happened on three different pages. We're triying to understand how this happened.

We controlled users default language and these are "Automatically detect browser setting". Browsers default language is English.

We tried to use browser's Chrome translater add-on. When we were in editting mode, we translated the page to English with this add-on. It took too long when we tried to publish. It turned to Turkish after it was publish.

We don't know how the page content is translated into English.

Can you help with this?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Dave Mathijs
body: Hi [@??kran Demir?al?](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1037549) ,

This is probably done by the browser and can/should be disabled on that level.

**Setting the default language**

1. Administrators can define a default language to be applied to all spaces in your Confluence site.
2. Individual users can select a language preference for their session.

**Other settings that affect the language**

Individual users can choose the language that Confluence will use to display screen text and messages. Note that the list of supported languages depends on the language packs installed on your Confluence site.

The language used for your session will depend on the settings below, in the following order of priority from highest to lowest:

* The language preference defined in your user profile. Note that you need to be logged in for this setting to take effect.
* The language that you choose by clicking an option at the bottom of the Confluence login screen. Confluence stores this value in a cookie. When the cookie expires, the setting will expire too.

* The language set in your browser. The browser sends a header with a prioritized list of languages. Confluence will use the first supported language in that list. Confluence administrators can disable this option by setting the `confluence.browser.language.enabled` [system property](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-system-properties-168002854.html) to `false`.

* The default language for your site, as defined by your Confluence site administrator.

Why can one of my team members see a space I created but the other can't?
Asked by Christian Thomson:

I created a space and one team member couldn't see it no matter what I tried, I asked a separate team member to look for it and while they could see it existed they could not access it. All the permissions/restrictions are open and the only way to gibe the one who could see access is by adding them personally rather than my whole team having access.

I have also add the team as a group to have access

Why can my team not find me?

I am able to long into Confluence, and even edit open access pages that I have been give links to. However, my team can't find me to me able to add me to restricted pages. I have verified that my e-mail address and information on my profile is correct. Any help is appreciated.


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Nichols, Christopher](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5124534) welcome to the community!

That really sounds odd. Can an administrator verify that you are a "real" user of Confluence? What user name is displayed in the UI if you interact with a page (editing, commenting)?

I skimmed a few older Atlassian bug tickets, and it might be worth trying to remove your user's product access once ("suspend access") and grant it again.

Best, Max

comments: author: Nichols, Christopher

I will reach out to my admin about suspending access and re-granting.

Convert completed tasks to bullets in Confluence
Asked by Ari Fellman:

I am looking for a way to convert completed tasks in Confluence pages to bullet points

The reason:

I use confluence for my meeting minutes for some recurring meetings.

in order to keep the history of the discussions searchable, I create a new page for each occurrence and copy the minutes from the previous page to a new page.

This process includes:

* removing closed agenda items
* adding agenda items
* merging / splitting existing items
* ***manually converting closed tasks to bullets***   
  * this is done to reduce the amount of so that owners don't get notifications for completed tasks

it is this last item I am trying to find a shortcut for


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Ari Fellman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5011734) ,

Just to make sure I understand your use case, you both save/keep each meeting minutes page AND copy the minutes from the previous page (which potentially gets longer and longer). I'm curious why the meeting minutes from previous meetings can't remain on their pages but need to be added to the most recent page created, since the existing pages can still be searched.

A couple ideas:

* What about using the Include macro so you just display in the new minutes page the content you need from the previous page? That way you aren't actually recreating it, just displaying it.
* What about using just one page, and the meeting minutes that have passed get moved into an expand macro, and the current meeting minutes are visible.
* Using a meeting note template and the decisions macro so that all the tasks and decisions and links to the meeting notes are automatically generated by Confluence. This won't show closed tasks admittedly, just the unfinished ones

comments: author: Ari Fellman
body: Some items that are on the agenda for a lengthy time, get rather extensive, but it is vital to keep the conversation in front of us, while they are still open.

the meetings in question are ongoing conversations, not where items are resolved in an hour's worth of work...

it's an interesting idea, to keep the expired items on one page, and have the running agenda on a separate page, I may try that....  

However, I'm still curious to see if there is a way to run some sort of tool on a page, that would identify completed tasks, and convert them to bullets, or alternately do disable notifications for completed tasks.

User Specified Landing Page before being asked to Login
Asked by Eoin Curran:

Hi there,

I am currently trying to use confluence to build out a community space for our customer base. However, I want to create a community landing page that can be accessed by customers prior to signing up or logging in to confluence. Meaning that if users clicked the link to the community space from our website, they would be greated with a landing page detailing what content is hosted in the site and encourage to sign up/login, as opposed to being hit with a login screen straight away. Is there a way to achieve this?

Thank you in advance for any help or assistance :)

1. [Share content externally with public links](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/share-content-externally-with-public-links/).
   * Based on that documentation this feature is temporarily restricted, so you would have to have been using it already to use this method. This is the method I would use once its no longer restricted.
2. [Share your site externally with anonymous access](http://Share%20your site externally with anonymous access).
   * Create a new space that will only contain your new landing page.
   * Enable anonymous access on the site level, enable anonymous access for your new space, and make sure it's disabled for all other spaces.
   * Direct your customers to your landing page which should now be anonymously accessible.
   * This isn't my preferred method as anyone with space admin permissions could mistakenly allow anonymous access to other spaces that shouldn't be public.
