Server requirements and test license
Asked by Oleg Islamov:

Hello!

Now I have a license for 10 users.

Can I get a test license for 100 users?

What are the server requirements for expanding the license to 100 users and more 1000 spaces?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: For the server requirements, see <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/server-hardware-requirements-guide-30736403.html>

You'll need to buy a licence for 100 users, test or otherwise. If you're buying a production licence though, you'll be able to use a "developer licence" on your test system, so assuming you have 100 production users, you can licence test at 100 test users as well, no extra charge.

How to set table width to be 100%?
Asked by Cyndy Messah:

As I type my content in the table, I resized my browser, then the table's width becomes slightly \>100% so I need to slightly scroll the table horizontally.

Is there anyway to do a quick fix for this? It's pretty annoying.

Using chrome (Version 79.0.3945.130 (Official Build) (64-bit))

Answers:
author: beacon_grayson
body: It is absolutely INSANE that Confluence does not have readable tables. This happens now with every single table. They make pages completely unreadable and extremely annoying. Why is this not fixed? Why do people have to vote to have BASIC readability addressed???


author: Milan Pierling
body: I get this when copying a table from Confluence to Jira - maybe this helps fixing it.


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Cyndy,

Thank you for bringing this up. When you added the columns, did you manually resize one at any time?

There's a bug below that says when the column widths were adjusted, you'll get a scrollbar at the bottom of the page rather than having the columns be responsive and fit to the size of the browser window.

* [CONFCLOUD-66218](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-66218) *Publishing adds unnecessary horizontal scrolling*

If this is not what you are running into, I believe it's the lack of responsiveness in the new version of Tables. For that, we have the feature request below that would allow in the future for a table to resize based on the space available:

* [CONFCLOUD-67748](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67748) *Responsive column widths in tables*

I recommend that you vote on the requests, so you'll be added to the list of watchers and receive updates on this in the future.

Take care,

Shannon

How do I delete a page created in Confluence?
Asked by Michelle Hutchison:

I can only edit pages but can't delete pages.


Answers:
author: Alison
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community [@Michelle Hutchison](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3739685) !

Agree w/ [@Vickey Palzor Lepcha](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/193910) above. Sounds like you don't have permission to delete pages in the space that you're in. You should be able to view Space Settings on the left hand menu to see who the admins are that you can contact to change the permissions. You may want to ask them if everyone should be able to delete pages, that way they grant group permissions instead of individual permissions.

PlantUML diagram not rendering

Answers:

The "I/O error" seems to indicate Confluence is having trouble writing to the filesystem. This may be some sort of permissions issue. Do you know if there have been any changes or restarts to Confluence recently?

Can I integrate my current trial with my current instance of Jira to create reports?
Asked by Beth Gorzney:

I would like to use Confluence with Jira to be able to create change reports, number of projects in progress, etc? Is this something I'm able to do with the trial?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Beth,

Thank you for contacting us about this, and welcome to Atlassian Community.

We don't have trial versions of our products, so you are working with the full version of Confluence Cloud during the evaluation period.

Is your Jira site running on Jira Server? You can follow the procedure at [Linking Server and Cloud Apps](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeval/other-atlassian-evaluator-resources/linking-server-and-cloud-apps-authentication) for information on how to link them together.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Is there a way to select from a drop-down list in a table?
Asked by v-rapsel:

Is there a way to create a drop-down list for a column in a Confluence table (analogous to applying a Validation list to a column in an Excel worksheet) and then selecting from that list per cell in the column? For example a column for "Priority" with drop-down list values of High, Medium, Low.

You can use the [Table Filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) macro with a [dropdown filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Table+filtration#Tablefiltration-Filtertypesavailable) for this purpose.

comments: author: v-rapsel
body: Thanks so much [@Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781696)

I checked out the documentation on [Table Filters](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Table+filtration#Tablefiltration-Filtertypesavailable) and if I am understanding it correctly, the table filters are analogous to an Excel filter over unique values in a column to filter the table rows that match the filter value, not for creating a validated drop-down box for data entry into a cell in a table column. Is that correct?

Thanks!

Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hello!

I see you're running into an error when starting Confluence. I've typically seen this type of error before when using the embedded H2 database, which isn't supported for production purposes. But having some more information might help the community troubleshoot:

* Is this a new instance?
* Has this ever been working?
* What steps are you taking to start Confluence?
* Did you make any changes before this started happening?
* What version of Confluence are you using?
* What type of database are you using?

This thread about a similar error in Jira may also help provide some insight: [Not able to connect JIRA.](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Not-able-to-connect-JIRA/qaq-p/1098970)

You can also follow the steps at the **Template variables**section of the link you mentioned.

How to add clause "where" with Velocity property to SQL query in "Database multi-select" field?
Asked by Konstantin:

Hello.

I have a big table with 30k+ rows. I need to create a "Database multi-select" field with restrictions in query.  
Now it works as follows: it receives all data from the database (30k+ rows), prints them in the form field and after that it can filter them according to the entered text. This process takes a lot of time, and all users think that the window freezes.

How can I create a filter in an SQL query using Velocity properties or something like that? Because the filter after receiving all data is not suitable for me.

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: For the database fields to work we need to load all the data for the field

Obviously, having something with 30+ in a dropdown is not something we ever expected for the field to have.

We have a "Dynamic dropdown" field that supports "proxy" mode and can help you with dynamically created lookups against your database.

Though, it does not support multi-values as of now

comments: author: Konstantin
body: Hi.

Thanks for the answer. It is very sad that "database multi-select" field can't to do this =(

Could you help me with next little question? How can I create dynamic field list?

Field 2: Name of first item. (Dynamic dropdown)  
Field 3: Name of second item. (Dynamic dropdown as in "Field 2")  
Field 4: Name of third item. (Dynamic dropdown as in "Field 2")

Jira issue macro performance degrades significantly with custom fields.
Asked by Andrew Pane:

We using Confluence 6.13.8 (against Jira 7.13.9 running on the same server) and have discovered that the performance of the Jira issue macro declines ++significantly++ when you choose to display custom fields in the results.

For example, we have one instance of this macro that has sub-second return time when we only include native Jira fields (E.g. assignee, due date, etc.) for 57 returned issues. However, when we add five columns of custom fields (all of the standard type "Text Field (single line)") the same macro is taking 20-25 seconds to display the same 57 issues.

Is this typical performance of this macro for custom fields? Is there anything that can be done to improve this?

Thanks,

Andrew

Do you encounter this issue when using Word or Powerpoint too?

Integrar de manera gratuita sharepoint con confluence
Asked by ecm5486f:

Se puede Sincronizar confluence con el sharepoint de manera gratuita, gracias


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@ecm5486f](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3739344),

Thank you for raising this question with us. From what I understand, you want to know if there's a way you can synchronize Confluence and Sharepoint for free.

If you are using Confluence Cloud, then I am sorry to say I do not know of a way to sync the to of them together, for free, or otherwise. There are a few add-ons in Marketplace that might be able to help with this, but they are not free.

For Server, there is the [SharePoint Connector for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218247/sharepoint-connector-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview), but this add-on is also not free.

You'll need to upgrade any attachments to Confluence manually, or you can try to use the [Confluence Cloud REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/) or a [Command Line Interface](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=command%20line%20interface) to script the move.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Why Does my @'d name disappear?

Everything works fine in our own confluence except me being showed with my previous last name when tagged or assigned. In the confluence space of a client, that I got access to, I can't be tagged or assigned. The search doesn't even find me, which leads to errors when people want to invite me to a page.

If you need to file a support ticket you can do that here:<https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/>

I recommend you share the ticket with your Confluence admin(s) so they can work with Atlassian support to resolve the issue.
