Voting on sticky notes in Confluence whiteboards
Asked by Ward Schwillens_ Schwillie:

Is there any good way of voting on sticky notes on Confluence Whiteboards.

Currently the Dot-voting template offers the dots, that you can drag and drop onto a sticky note.

![voting dots.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/325056i840AEB0BEA859F38/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "voting dots.png")

You can drag an drop these dots on a sticky note to vote for it.

![here's the voting dot.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/325057i62C913F2377B218D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "here's the voting dot.png")

Unfortunately, there's no automatic count and the dots don't stick to the note when the note is dragged around.

![now here's the voting dot when the sticky note got dragged.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/325058iF0D409F481D34148/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "now here's the voting dot when the sticky note got dragged.png")

Creating stamps for the voting dots would already be part of the solution, as stamps do stick to the sticky notes.

Thank you for your input.

author: hoogem06
body: I'm also looking for a solution to this. I would suggest implementing a dot voting session functionality that gives users a number of dots and then lets the users vote anonymously after which time the votes are revealed. This is how Mural does it, and imo it's the most useful way. In fact it's just about the only thing (but a relatively major thing) I miss from having switched from Mural to Confluence Whiteboards.

Confiforms rules does not work with custom layout defined in registration control
Asked by Laurent:

Hello

I use a confiform definition with default layout, basic registration control and confiform rules. This works fine and values are correctly computed by confiform rules

Now I modified confiform registration control to define a custom layout. I moved the confiform fields inside the registration control. And all the confiform rules i previously defined are not taken in account.

Any idea ?

Best regards

Labels for Smart Link Pages (Show PDFs etc. via Filter by Label on overview pages etc.)
Asked by Matthias Lochmann:

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create a global company wiki/information management/ticketing system via confluence+jira service desk \>\>\> Refined (Reader/User Portal). For normal Confluence pages I have no problems, everything is perfect. But at the end of the day, it's not possible to transfer all documents from classic Word/Pdfs to Confluence pages.  
We have some fancy sales brochures, power points or firmware/software etc. and at the moment there is no technical solution to implement such files (I don't want to add the file to a page or just insert the link on a page, I want to see the content directly on the screen as it is currently with the smart link pages).

However, since the ability to create smart link pages has been around for a while, I think a solution is within reach. Does anyone know if there is a possibility to add labels to such a page? Or does anyone know how I can make this suggestion to the Confluence team? Because imagine if we can treat external content in the same way as Confluence pages... from that moment on, Confluence can become the leading information management system. Atlassian Itelligence would then only have to be able to read and learn the content of these smart links and we would have all the information in one place, without media breaks etc. I think that the topic of Smart Link Pages has great potential if you try to view them in the same way as a conventional Confluence Page.

Concrete case: If I could give the Smart Link page labels, then it would be listed in my macro (Filter by Label) like a normal page. This would open up a lot of possibilities, as we could treat everything the same in Confluence, regardless of the file.

Best Regards

Matthias

Overview of Space Administrators
Asked by Marcel Munerotto:

I want to provide my users with a confluence page, which displays all Administrators for a given space (if possible also with the administrators from Jira projects)

Where I come from. Until now, we did a SQL Query and generated a CSV with this information and published that CSV through a Jenkins Service on a confluence page. Now the Jenkins Plugin is deprecated and we need to switch our solution.

I want to know if there is a way to do it, within Confluence/Jira (maybe there is a free App that can do it).

If not, I would do something like a rest API Update from external Sources, but that is something I try to avoid.

If someone out here has a good solution, I'd be very happy and grateful.

Confluence page comment possibility for clients
Asked by Vincze J?nos:

With my company we would like to create our documents in confluence which will be shared with our clients.

The problem is that these documents get lot of reviewing from the clients, so they create many comments in it.

The best would be if we would be able to share the confluence page with a client without giving them an account to our confluence, but still able to comment in it.

First we find the Refined app, which we can use for sharing the page itself, but there is no comment possibility.

Is there any solution for this problem?

Thanks,

John


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hello [@Vincze J?nos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5501944) and welcome.

In your public space, ban anonymous users from adding comments.

To share a page with a specific client for consultation, you can invite them as a guest to your confluence.

Guests do not count towards your licensed user count and you can add and remove them at will.

A guest can access only one space (whichever you allow them to) and you can assign guests permissions as to any regular user.

In practice, they can read and comment but cannot edit, for example.

Way to display/combine process diagrams into an high level overview
Asked by Vitalij Frank:

Hi, i am looking for a solution to the following problem.

Since I have not found anything after my previous research and am not sure where to ask this question, i am asking it here.  
Is there a way to link sub-process diagrams from different Confluence (Cloud) pages to an overall process diagram? We use Gliffy, but are open to alternatives. If Gliffy can already do this, we at least don't know how. We are also open to completely different solutions as long as we can mitigate the described problem of maintaining two separate descriptions for the process flow.

We usually have a Confluence page (with a Gliffy) that describes a sub-process. Such a sub-process can have one or more beginnings or ends. These beginnings and ends refer to other sub-processes (Pages). The pages are therefore linked to each other and build on each other.

The problem is that we lack a complete overview of the process flow. As we already maintain the sub-processes in Gliffy, we want to avoid manually maintaining a diagram for the overall process in parallel.

Ideally the system (maybe plugins etc.) would automatically combine the sub-processes and their links into a higher-level overview diagram where you can visualize the process flow. As there are many sub-processes (and pages) involved and changes can often occur, we refrain from maintaining it "twice".

Any advice or hint on how to tackle this problem in Confluence would be appreciated.

Currently, you could link to the subprocess using a hyperlink in Gliffy. You can add this link on either the shape indicating the subprocess, or on specific text in the shape. More in our documentation here:

<https://help.gliffy.com/confluence/Content/GliffyCommon/Linking-text.htm>

But, it sounds like you want to visually display the subprocess diagram within your Gliffy diagram? Is that correct? I'd love to learn more. You can reach me via email at skaufman@perforce.com --- I'd be happy to chat!

Exporting to Word results in blurred images
Asked by Pascal Gruber:

When I export a page with inserted images to Word, the images are blurred.

What could be the reason for this?


Answers:
author: Teodora V
body: Hi [@Pascal Gruber](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4843083)

Some members report that having the images in their original sizing may fix this. You can try expanding the images to their original sizes and generate a new export.

comments: author: Pascal Gruber
body: Hi [@Teodora V](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/78696)

The images are already inserted in their original size. The "Original size" button is also already checked for all images.

Interestingly, a few images are normal and not blurred. On the whole page, however, all images are of the .png type and all of a similar size, without a specific border or similar.


author: Teodora V
body: This behavior is so weird. I don't see any open bugs for Confluence Cloud; maybe you can log a [**support request**](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/) and find the core issue with an Atlassian team member.

Confluence Calendar view
Asked by Fatima Badat:

I am looking for an answer to the same question someone else had on the confluence calendar view. If you have multiple events on the same day, they are not visible. How do i set up a default view to anyone viewing the page?


Answers:
author: Sudarsana G
body: Hi Fatima,

In Confluence, the default behavior of the calendar view is to collapse multiple events on the same day into a single entry. However, you can adjust the display settings to change how events are shown. Here's how you can set up a default view to ensure that all events are visible to anyone viewing the page:

Navigate to the Calendar Macro Settings: Go to the Confluence page containing the calendar view or create a new page where you want to display the calendar. Edit the page and add the Calendar macro if it's not already present.

Click on the Calendar macro to select it, then click on the "Edit" button (pencil icon) that appears.

In the macro settings panel, you should see options related to the display of events. Look for settings such as "Event Display" or "Event Rendering". Depending on the version of Confluence you're using, these options may vary.

Choose an option that allows for detailed event display or expands events on the same day to show all of them individually. This setting may be labeled differently depending on your Confluence version, but look for options like "Expand Events" or "Show All Events".

After adjusting the display settings, save your changes to the macro settings.

Preview or Publish the Page

Regards,

Sudharsan.G

What's the charges for Knowledge base feature
Asked by pmo:

As of now we are using the free tier Knowledge base space. Please let us know the pricing related to it specially if we have to use only one user.


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@pmo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5501828) and welcome.

FIrst... by Knowledge base... you mean Confluence, correct? Or are you pushing your Confluence space to Jira Service Management to create a knowledge base?

If your plan is Standard, as your profile specifies, then it's not free.

Pricing of most Atlassian products this side of Enterprise is always a function of

* version (free, standard, premium)
* number of users
* monthly vs annual payment

<https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing>

As [@Ollie Guan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853638) said, you can get Confluence for free for up to 10 users and create multiple spaces.

One of the main differences between Free and Standard is that you cannot make a Free Confluence space accessible by anonymous users (you can't make it public - at least not with an app/add-on) as Free lacks advanced permission controls.


author: Ollie Guan
body: Hi [@pmo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5501828) ,

You can use the free plan for less than 10 users. When there are more than 10 users you need to upgrade to the Standard plan and pay for each user (including the previous 10 users)

Regarding viewing of the pages there might be restrictions added due to which you are not able to view them, However you can find the list of restricted pages in the **Space Settings -\> Manage Content** section which will also show the users having permission to access/edit the required page.
