Generative AI in Confluence
Asked by Richard:

I want to know about the Generative AI capabilities in confluence.

author: Nikola Perisic
body: Welcome [@Richard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5594407)

You can find the article on that here: <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/resources/guides/best-practices/atlassian-ai#get-started-with-atlassian-intelligence-in-confluence>

To summarise, for Confluence AI, the capabilities are the following:

* draft and edit content, improve writing, and change tone

* define words and acronyms (beta)

* generate a summary or action items from a page

* summarize pages, page comments, and blogs

* search for answers (beta)

* summarize in-line comments

* summarize Smart Links from Confluence, Jira, and Google docs (beta)

* create rules using natural language

* create actions in templates and components

Soon, you'll be able to use Atlassian Intelligence in Confluence to:

* reference Confluence pages and Jira tickets in prompts

* generate readability suggestions

* understand recent and important changes in pages

* brainstorm ideas from Confluence pages, Jira tickets, and Jira Product Discovery insights

* organize and group ideas in a whiteboard

* summarize a whiteboard

* convert a whiteboard into a page

* convert a page into Jira tickets

body: Hi [@Richard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5594407) and welcome to the community!

A good place to start is this part of the Confluence best practice guide, which outlines the AI capabilities: <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/resources/guides/best-practices/atlassian-ai#atlassian-intelligence-features-in-confluence>

And in a bit more detail, this documentation from the 'Using AI in your organisation' section of the adminstrator guides: <https://support.atlassian.com/organization-administration/docs/atlassian-intelligence-features-in-confluence/>

If you have any specific questions that you cannot find an answer to in the docs, let us know!

Have a nice day,

Asked by Chitra Chakravarthy:

Hello Experts,

While I use a template for creating new page in wiki ( like trouble shooting guide or how to article template ) The information is getting duplicated in the parent of the page \& also appears at the foot of the page as well?

Filter Data in TableView based on Another Form
Asked by Rayman Bacchus:

Hoping you can help:

<br />

I have two forms:

Form A which has a field called IntakeNumber along with many other fields

Form B which has a field called IntakeRef along with 5 other fields

I am trying to ConfluencePage that shows data from Form A, with an editable tableview from form B filters on the IntakeNumber from Form A, so the user can add tasks that are actually assigned to Form A.

Form A creates a Confluence Page titled **\[entry.IntakeNumber\]: \[entry.InitiativeName\]**

Form B has a smartdown field called Intake Ref which I want to show only the IntakeNumber from Form A

![Capture.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/348663i944D92E588390CA0/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")

RIght now the dropdown shows ALL intake numbers created by Form A, when I only want it to show the 1 number that the form is actually under This is a shortened version of the ConfluencePage (created by Form A) with the TableView (from Form B)  

![Capture2.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/348664i76E458A10797D8EF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture2.PNG")

body: Hi [@Rayman Bacchus](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4958603)

If I understand you correctly, which one is form A and which one is form B and how they are connected

Then the filtering condition for the TableView (over the FrdIntakeTasks) on the screenshot would be

```
IntakeRef:[entry.id]
```

Alex

comments: author: Rayman Bacchus
body: Thanks Alex!

This is 95% of what I was looking for. I am wondering (as a final step) if there is a way that when the user goes to intake RB008 that the Intake Reference dropdown defaults to only showing RB008 in the dropown. Right now in the Intake Reference Field it shows all intakes where I only want it to show the one assoicated with the Confluence Page. In my example the intake is RB008 so I want the Intake Reference field to only show the RB008 in the dropdown list and not all intakes.

Slack integration bug?
Asked by Mariano Edvardsson:

Atlassian Confluence 9.0.2 Server/DC

Seems like all buttons are dead. This exact same Slack integration works fine on Jira Service Management:

![Screen Recording 2024-09-21 at 04.19.25.gif](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/348632iD8C5A564C2E1AC4B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Recording 2024-09-21 at 04.19.25.gif")

Anyone found a workaround? I can notice the issue is Confluence not taking the \`data-team-id="XXXXX"\` parameter from the creds field, and also the no buttons work at all (even "paste).

I wonder if there's any workaround using the web inspector, but I'm not so savvy on web-dev tools.

Hi [@Mariano Edvardsson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4480807) --

Watching your video, I wonder if you have taken the step [described here:](https://confluence.atlassian.com/slack/use-slack-and-confluence-together-966662503.html)
> You'll then be taken to Slack's App Directory to install the Confluence Server Slack app. Click the green "Install" button for the Slack app and complete Slack's OAuth process.
>
> Once you complete the OAuth process in Slack, you'll then see a new configuration page for your integration. Scroll to the bottom to see the two fields you need to complete. First, add your Confluence Server web address. **Please do not include a trailing / after your web address.**Second, you'll want to copy the contents of box #2 back into your Confluence setup.

I found the Confluence Server Slack app here:

<https://slack.com/apps/AG28M10D8-confluence-server>

Looks like you need to do install that, and then add your Confluence server to generate the credentials that need to be Pasted in that box above.

How can I get statistics in the questions area? The statistical tab does not appear visible
Asked by Carlos Silva:

Hi, we have in my confluence space a Questions area in which we use to track questions and support them. I would like to know how I can activate the statistics tab to help keep track of how questions and answers are growing over time, but I can't figure out how to activate them. After research I found an answer but is very old where says that usage statistics are only visible to users with Confluence Administrator permissions but I already have admin permissions. Can anyone help me with this?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Carlos Silva](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3942239) !

As I understand, you need to access some statistic data from Questions for Confluence but the option is not available.

Looking at the Server version of the documentation about Questions for Confluence, we can see that this feature should be readily available:
> * [++***\[Questions for Confluence -- Server\] Administer Questions***++](https://confluence.atlassian.com/questions/administer-questions-593035916.html)

However, when we go over into the equivalent page for the Cloud platform, this feature is not present:
> * [++***\[Questions for Confluence -- Cloud\] Administer Questions***++](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/administer-questions/)

A few years ago a suggestions was raised but did not get much traction:
> * [++***\[Questions for Confluence -- Cloud\] Confluence Questions traffic and answers statistics data***++](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-58348)

I hope this clarifies why the feature is not present in your site. Let us hear from you!

Extracting content from "Questions for Confluence"?
Asked by Shawn Connelly:

Hello all,

I am looking for a way to backup Questions and Answers stored in **Questions for Confluence**, ideally in HTML format, for reporting purposes. It's seems like a strange add-on with no options for extracting data.

Has anyone successfully extracted content from this Confluence add-on?

I have a developer who thinks it could be accomplished with a day of programming via ElasticSearch, but before I assign a dev to this project, I would like to know if there is a less expensive way of extracting from this add-on.

Thank you.

Answering questions and creating topics
Asked by Ros Graz:

Hello,

I am currently testing Questions for Confluence, trial version, in the cloud.

I can create questions, but once I created them, I cannot share them with other users.

I don't see any function that allows me to answer questions (I tried to login as another user which has been granted access to my Confluence site).

I can create topics, but cannot insert any content in them, except for the title.

Is there maybe an issue related to the trial version (maybe limited features available)?

Tx in advance,

Grazia


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey Grazia, welcome to the Community!

When you are viewing a question, there should be a **Share** button on the right-side of the question:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90582iAF616F5F04B9678C/image-dimensions/881x283?v=v2 "image.png")Once you've clicked that button, you'll get a modal window that allows you to copy a URL to the exact question.

In looking at your Atlassian account, I see you're also evaluating an app called [Questions and Answers](http://Questions and Answers) in addition to Questions for Confluence. I wonder if perhaps both apps are activated at the same time and perhaps it's difficult to tell them apart in the interface. Additionally I noted that both app evaluations expired the day you asked this question, and I would assume this is what is preventing you from asking new questions. While the evaluation is active, you should have full access to the features of an app.

Cheers,

Use Confluence macros with questions
Asked by Berry Kersten:

According to <https://confluence.atlassian.com/questions/integrate-questions-with-your-spaces-407724495.html> / **Use Confluence macros with questions**, it should be possible to use the The Content by Label macro for displaying a list of questions that have a specific label (or topic) applied.

However when I try that (using an existing topic in the macro), there is no content with the specified labels.

Confluence version: 7.3.1

Questions version: 2.7.20

Am I missing something?

Answers:
author: Ivan Lima
body: Hey [@Berry Kersten](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1321968)

Even though you've got the "Of type Questions" under "Add filter", apparently, this is a known issue that has been tracked through the Atlassian ticket system. You can access it at

* [Questions don't Appear in Content by Label Macro](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-47087)

You can vote on "This affects my team" and add yourself to the watcher's list to receive notifications about the updates moving forward.

You can also find similar references to this at

* [CONFSERVER-51759](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-51759)
* [Can't insert Questions content using Content by Label macro](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-t-insert-Questions-content-using-Content-by-Label-macro/qaq-p/21878)

Also, the option "Include this Content Type Only" of Content by Label macro described by item 4 under "Show questions, pages and blogs for a topic"**,**it's not available on the latest versions. This is probably an option you can find on older than 5.9 versions if I'm not mistaken.

Hope it helps.

Why I can't search for Questions in main Confluence Search?
Asked by Rado:

I have noticed, if I try to use main Confluence Search engine to find a Question content - it doesn't return expected results (I have no filters set, i.e. searching for all content as default)

To see results I need to set either of:

* Select 'Include archived spaces'
* Set 'Type' to 'Questions'

Why? Is there a way to see Questions content in search results as default?


Answers:
author: Ad van Pinxteren
body: We have the same problem here. In the past, we have created many questions and answers. Too bad those are very hard to find using Confluence Search. I can only find them when I specifically set the "Type" to "Questions".

But when I search using no filters, those questions are not included in the results. Is this because "Questions" have been degraded to some sort of plugin type?

REST API for Questions: How can I see who cast a vote on a question or answer?
Asked by Arthur Hovanesian:

When I use the API to get information on a particular question, the response has a votes property like this:

```
 "votes": { 
             "down": 1, 
             "total": 2, 
             "up": 3,  
             "upVoted": false,
             "downVoted": false 
          } 
```

I would like to see a more detailed breakdown of the votes: which users cast the votes, when they cast their vote, and how they voted (up or down).

Is this data possible to obtain from the REST API for Confluence Questions?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Arthur Hovanesian](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3196782)

That information is not available via the API. The API only provides the summary like you are getting back.
