Table - Sticky table headings in view mode
Asked by Linda Wong:

My table in Confluence doesn't have this feature - sticky heading row when scrolling.

and my Table doesn't have any issues listed below:

* the space is using the documentation theme.
* your table is inside a page layout, or inside another table.
* your table has no header row or there are cells in the top row that aren't marked as headers.
* your table has a header column, instead of a header row, and scrolls horizontally.
* your table contains another table, that has its own header row.

Could you please let me know why?

Thanks,

Linda

If you use our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=server&utm_source=atl_community&utm_vendorID=27437) app in your instance, you may freeze rows/columns and set the desired table height via the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro?utm_source=atl_community&utm_vendorID=27437) macro.

You may read [here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Sorting%2C+freezing+and+other+table+viewing+options#Sorting,freezingandothertableviewingoptions-FreezefirstNrows/columns?utm_source=atl_community&utm_vendorID=27437) about the settings.

What concerns the standard sticky headers, it's hard for me to tell why you are facing this issue. Try to create a multiple-row table with plain dummy text/numbers (without any other macros in the cells) and see if the header sticks.

comments: author: Linda Wong
body: Thank you for the feedback. I have tried to create numbers of rows and columns and put simple text in the table, it still didn't work for me.

If Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app has purchase fee, then I have to ask my company about it. Thank you for the suggestion.

Is it possible to copy content from one page, and edit only in the new page, when using templates
Asked by Ivar:

We are currently using Confluence to document our meetings, both to build the agenda prior to the meeting, but also to document our discussions.

We have created a template for the meeting documentation.

We sometimes (!! :) ) run out of time, hence some of the discussion points should be moved to the next meeting.

So, let's say that we have a table with 10 items up for discussion. 7 of them we managed to complete while 3 must be moved to the next session.

Is it possible for us to include these 3 remaining items during the "create new page from template"-process, so that they are copied from the old page and included in the new one, but all edits are stored on the new page only?

I have looked into the excerpt-macros, but as far as I can see, these will only include content from a "master source page", and not give me the "copy content and edit locally, disconnect from sourcepage" function that we are after.

Is my only way to create the page and then copy manually?

Is there a different way of dealing with meeting agenda/notes completely?


Answers:
author: Robert Keiper _K15t_
body: Hi [@Ivar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853322)  
I'm not aware, of any confluence build in functionality that would stop you from having to copy the content manually over.  

But my companies app [Orderly Databases](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/Announcing-Orderly-Replace-Confluence-Page-Properties-with/ba-p/1915196) could potentially solve this need for you. Orderly enables you to create databases to structure content on pages i.e your discussion points.

By referencing a database on a template and filtering the database entries (in you case the discussion points) to only show the ones that are still 'open', you are able to create an always up to date meeting notes template.  

In case you need more help to set up this use case with Orderly, let me know or [setup a demo](https://www.k15t.com/solutions/orderly-databases-for-confluence) right away.  

Cheers,  
Robert

comments: author: Ivar
body: Thank you for replying, Robert!

If you are right, i.e. there is no such thing, we might as well start storing our items in Jira, and use the Jira-macros to manage this instead. Not what we are looking for, but something we already have in place in our shop.

Not all headers in Table of contents can be selected, ie. are linkable
Asked by Ida Bodholdt:

Hi,

I think this one is for Atlassian/Confluence staff to tjek - maybe others experience this too?

Using Table of contents, the links to headers does not work. There is no underline, and you can not select and jump to a section.

After looking at the html of the page, it seems the reason is that there is the following div **over** the content to click on.

\<div class="media-card-viewport-anchor" style="position: absolute; top: -900px;"\>\</div\>

If I delete this, I can select the content, and it works fine. However this is just a local hack.

Best regards,

Ida

Thanks for raising this! It looks like you're being impacted by the following bug: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-78686>

I see that you've already identified a workaround, which is the same as the workaround listed in the bug ticket.

I'm afraid that there's not much else we can do until this bug is fixed.

Adding Label Issue
Asked by Devin Mullane:

Users who have "View and Edit" access to a Confluence page I recently created are receiving the following error message then they attempt to add labels to attachments they're uploading to the page:

How to override Global Permission for allow Anonymous Access for one Confluence Space become public?
Asked by Sharkrit Impat _Job_:

I am using Confluence cloud and have turned on Global Permission which does not allow Anonymous Access, but I just want to create just one public Confluence page or space without changing the global setting? Is it possible to do this? I cannot find how to override this setting.

The reason that I don't want to change Global Setting is that I want to avoid changing many spaces and pages to private.


Answers:
author: Srinatha T
body: Hi [@Sharkrit Impat _Job_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3461903) ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

This was easy with [public links](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/share-content-externally-with-public-links/) but recently it was temporarily discontinued. I am not sure but if you are cloud premium customer it should be available.

The other way would be , you will need to make the space anonymously accessible to the whole world, and then restrict the pages you do not want the world to be able to see.

The best way to do this is:

Global permissions: Allow anonymous access

Space: Anonymous access

Top level Page 1: No restrictions

Top level Page 2: Restricted to the login group

Other spaces - only logged in users (confluence users) can use, not anonymous

I hope the above information is useful. Have a good day.

Thanks,

Srinath T

Is it possible to show only details from a Jira issue on Confluence?
Asked by Hueson Wong:

I know jira issue details are accessible and configurable within a table, but I would like the information to be in some kind of field linked to the original jira issue appear as a regular piece of text. I.e. not in a table. Can this be done?  

Say for example with the image attached, I would have its status (To Do) to appear either in plain text or in the status macro. The due date would appear either in plain text or much like the // macro. The assignee would appear as plain text or with the [@User](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/115298) macro.

Apologies if the terminology isn't quite right - I hope you get the idea.  

Thanks :)![Capture.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/187522i69E0A6903EE755CF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Hueson Wong](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4803659)

This isn't possible. The only thing you can do is to use the jira macro, which either shows a table or only one item with title and status.

I would suggest you to use the table.

Also, check if firewall is blocking youtube.com. I have faced this issue once when firewall was actually not allowing Youtube and hence the same could not be embedded . Try the steps and it should work.

How to handle floor plans/technical schematics in Confluence (Facility Management)
Asked by Dirk Ronsmans:

I recently got a question to handle floor plans and schematics in our Jira environment.

I know we can of course attach documents and images in Confluence but I'm looking for something (a lot) more advanced.

Our Facilities department tends to work with multi layer Pdf files or CAD drawing for certain floorplans/technical schematics.

Is anybody aware of a plugin that can handle these in Confluence with (full) support for the interactive functions that such a drawing provide?

We tried draw.io in the past but that was too limited.


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Dirk Ronsmans](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/124602),

my first idea before finishing reading your post was something like draw.io or maybe Gliffy... ? But if that was too limited in its features, I don't think that there's an existing solution. Even a short research didn't bring up any useful solution. What software do you use for CAD drawings and is there some integration between services available through the vendor? Best, Max

comments: author: Samie Kaufman - Your Gal at Gliffy
body: I agree! I don't think either app is great for super-detailed, technical floor plans. Adding a CAD image does seem like a better way to work with that level of detail. :)
