Building an automatic Summary from multiple pages
Asked by Carlos Fry:

I want five (5) managers to fill out a weekly Confluence template summarizing their work and their meeting discussion with their team. One section of the Manager Notes, I want the manager to write a brief (3-5 sentence) summary.

How do I create a summary page that pulls all the summary notes together?

When the manager team comes together to meet, all of their summary blocks should "roll up" onto the Manager meeting page, without anyone needing to cut and paste.

A couple thoughts from experiments:

\* the 'decisions' and 'actions' macros work, and we can filter well enough with these to get the precision we need;

\* the 'exerpt' macro seems close, but I can't get it to select the current week of reports for the manager without explicitly defining the pages in the macro

Any thoughts are welcome - and I am open to a Marketplace product for this.

body: Hi [@Carlos Fry](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3886535)

Since you wrote you're open for a marketplace product for this, I think I can recommend our latest app Orderly Databases for Cloud to you.

With Orderly you can build a simple database within your space for your meetings notes, with each note-page as an entry. You can then enter all kind of metadata resembling these pages like dates, assigned users, links or also references to other databases in your space.

You can then refer to this database on any page you like by inserting the Orderly macros. You can insert either the whole/ part of the database as a table, one specific entry (is like a dynamic editable page property macro) or specific values from the database.

Also, you can filter those macros e.g. by date or user, to select the meeting notes you require for your manager meeting within the database.

It's free for up to 10 users. And if you have any additional questions, just contact us!

Best,  
Darja


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Carlos Fry](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3886535) We did something similar but instead of creating a new page each week they just updated the same report. Then the information we needed to be filtered up each week using he except macro and we were able to see the history of those pages in the versions.

If you need a new page each week you might look at using page properties. Then you can use the page properties report to bring the information up to the top and just order it by date.

summary
Display data based on CQL
Asked by davyd ramirez:

I have six confluence pages with very similar data.

All of the pages describe job roles and functions and skills.

I have six separate links on the main page now.

I would like it to be one URL with the same data but when the user clicks on the link it shows different fields/info/data based on CQL.

If they chose Engineer Level 1 they would see all of the roles and responsibilities on that page for that role.

Now if they go back to the starting page and choose Engineer Level 2 they see different data based on the new CQL results.

The goal would be to focus on one page to make edits for all of the roles and not multiple pages.

body: Hi [@davyd ramirez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4914309) ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

So basically you are looking for option to have one page and be able to access the content from different pages and avoid links.

There are several ways to combine pages (or in this case spaces maybe) - you can insert . Below are some macros which are useful in this kind of scenarios.

* [Page Tree Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf59/page-tree-macro-792499177.html) and link to the existing content
* you can mirror content using [Include page macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/include-page-macro-139514.html)
* another way could be using [excerpt macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/excerpt-macro-148062.html) to show some parts like the TOC macro from existing pages

I hope that helps. Have a good day!

Thanks,

SVG in confluence page
Asked by Bing Li:

When inserting a draw.io diagram, found that it is display as png in default. Sometimes the thumbnail is not clear enough. How to force it displayed as SVG?


Answers:
author: netsanet desta
body: I see that your post about displaying SVGs in Confluence is from two years ago, but I'd like to offer some help.

Forcing SVG display in Confluence might still be relevant. If you're facing issues with diagram clarity, consider revisiting your approach. One way to enhance the display is by using an [ai vector generator](https://plusvector.com) which can help optimize and convert images into SVG format.

Even though some time has passed, improving the quality of visuals on your Confluence pages is always a valuable goal. Give it a try, and I hope it addresses the concerns you had back then.


author: Marija Radovic
body: Hi [@Bing Li](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4590776)

It is not possible to have svg instead of PNG because we use a png for the export.

You mentioned "Sometimes the thumbnail is not clear enough."

Feel free to submit all the details with a print screen here: <https://drawio.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/14/group/15/create/49>

body: Hi,

I'm a cloud user, and not my own server. And yes, I'm using the **draw.io diagram** to insert a drawing into confluence page.The drawing is png format in default, which sometimes is fuzzy. SVG is preferred.

I guess it is a kind of macro or something, but not sure. If it could be forced to be display in SVG format probably it is fine for me.


author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: In order to have a buitin macro you need to wait that <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-1762> will be completed.

Table headings with Insert Jira Issue
Asked by Gonzalez_ Maria:

I am looking to display a list of JIRA issues on a Confluence page that I have created and would like to use Insert Jira Issues using the table format. I would like however to change one of the table headings to display something more user friendly than "CustomField1" for example.

I have attempted a couple of workarounds but unfortunately have not been able to find a way.

Is there a workaround available that someone is using effectively?

Thanks in advance for assistance!


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Gonzalez_ Maria](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4599363)

Can you clarify what you mean by change the table headings to something more friendly?

The Jira Issues macro will display a search filter in Confluence - the table's columns are then based on field names. So whatever each field's name is should be what is used here.

Is this what is happening in your instance? If yes, what are you looking to have instead?

comments: author: Gonzalez_ Maria
body: Hi [@Ste Wright](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1166470)

I happen to be using a reserved field named "CustomField1" which I would like to be able to change in my display only to 'Weekly Summary' instead.

As you state, the table columns are based on the field names so in this case, I am stuck with the "CustomField1" label unless there is a way to change it when displayed. I was hoping there was an easy way to change it?

Thanks in advance!


author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Gonzalez_ Maria](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4599363)

Just confirming CustomField1 has a name, and it's not actually showing as the Field ID? It should show whatever the field's name is in Jira.

It's not possibly to modify the field's name unless you change it in Jira. Aside from some extremely manual alternatives - you might need to look for an App that can extend the power of tables in Confluence to allow for this.

Check out Apps such as [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) , or similar Apps from the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=server&product=confluence&query=tables).

author: Gonzalez_ Maria
body: Hi [@Ste Wright](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1166470) - the actual field name is "CustomField1" which is obviously not very user friendly and I am unable to have the JIRA admin change it.

I'll take a look at the app you suggest but I don't believe we have that available internally.

page labels are not updating even though page shows the label.
Asked by Saad Sadiq:

Page labels are not updating even though the page shows the label. It's visible on the screen. But when going to the label page (/wiki/label/US/helloworld) - corresponding page is not visible.   

As the page label is not updating, expected data is not displaying within the page properties report macro. This was working and realized it's not anymore - as we started creating new pages. We identified the problem being the **labels**.

Any ideas on how this can be resolved?

(note: page properties and page properties report is already in use).

Is it possible to provision security groups based upon a user's attributes held in a 3rd party app?
Asked by ssobhi:

I want to empower a space administrator with the option of creating groups for a particular space based upon a user's attributes stored in a 3rd party application. eg job title, role

The third party application features an API capable of capturing the user's attributes and common to both applications is that the Active Directory username is used to sign-in.

As an example the organization is a dealership and several roles include include parts technician, service technician, and automotive technician. Now the space administrator should be able to create groups and leverage the job title as a condition for gaining access to a space eg

If user in the 3rd party app has a job title containing service, grant user access to "Service" space within Confluence.

Confluence Cloud is pretty great, and there's a lot to learn. Here are some resources for you:

* Atlassian's [Confluence Documentation](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/resources/): This is where I first learned about Confluence
* My team's [Getting Started with the Editor](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVvtVyEIKNWh0VpvUfSsyO0e2kouNeC43) video tutorial series: The editor is a big deal in Confluence, so this can get you going (new video hitting next week)
* [Confluence best practices series](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVvtVyEIKNWjzk8MSwEiT2NV77Oe8INTf): We've packed this with the best ways we've found to do things in Confluence
* Appfire's "[The Hub](https://hub.appfire.com/)" is full of solution-based articles and videos to help with specific problems you're trying to solve.
* Look for an [Atlassian community group](https://ace.atlassian.com/) near you: These are such great spots for connecting with other users and seeing what they're doing with Confluence.
* [Rock the Docs](https://www.k15t.com/rock-the-docs) is my team's site full of written guides with best practices for using Confluence.
