Sorting Child Pages by Date
Asked by Krista Planinac (DO NOT USE):

Is there a way new pages can be be auto displayed in a newest-oldest view? Currently, my child pages auto display oldest-newest under the parent page. I realize I can manually sort them and edit the sequence in which they display, but it would be ideal if there were a sorting feature for users. Thanks in advance for any direction.

Is there an equivalent "heat map" for number of page views?
Asked by Wesley Callow:

In Confluence, there is the "popular labels" macro which you can display the data in a bulleted list or a heatmap. This is cool but is there an equivalent for this that would use analytics to display a list or heatmap of most visited articles in a specific space?


Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi Wes,

You can use confluence analytics which provides very good info: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/analytics-1044780333.html>

How do I import a space from a previous Confluence server version?
Asked by John F. Jaymes:

I have a space that I exported and saved from an unknown previous server version as a backup. I now wish to import this space to our current Confluence Cloud instance. Using import, I get an error. Documentation says to use the "Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant" app, but that app does not seem to exist any longer.

How can I import this documentation space? I no longer have access to a server version to attempt to restore and then upgrade that server version. The content is what matters, not users or other aspects.


Answers:
author: John F. Jaymes
body: Please ignore this question- the problem in this case is with the source space I was trying to import. I simply selected the wrong export (html when I meant to select the .xml). Sorry!

Best practice setup of Confluence + Jira kanban board
Asked by Monique Van Der Haar:

I'm about 5% competent on utilising these tools. I run a team of 15 with 2 teams. Looking for best practice fast setup to cuts through the 'how to noise' and achieves:

* What we are working on ... thinking this is a Jira board to replace Microsoft Planner, OneNote \& outlook to dos to manage team workflow and integrates to dependency team Jira Boards across highly geographically dispersed organisation when we escalate product roadblock issues, but predominantly managing our team 90 day initiatives that make up our OKRs
* Documentation of iterative information on:
  * Who our team is
  * What we do
  * How to engage
  * Meeting notes - team meetings coming and links to resources like Stream videos of team meetings missed

Utilising Teams + Sharepoint + Stream for meetings, chat and too much documentation which is clunky and ludicrous for finding and sharing information  

Removing too many tools as it's making it hard to keep track of the work.

While I am not a certified Agile professional, I can point you to some of our community threads that talk about the integration between Confluence and Jira boards and also a guide on how to use Kanban with our software.

Here they are:

Is there a way to add rows to the top of a table?
Asked by Robert Gates:

I have tables where I want the new, blank row to go on the top and have all the existing content go in rows below that. Is there a way to add rows to the top of a table?


Answers:
author: Robert Gates
body: That worked - exactly what I was looking to do. Thank you!


author: Walter Buggenhout
body: Hi [@Robert Gates](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4029051),

Yes, there is. Just make sure you turn off the header row first from the *table options* at the bottom of your table.

![Screenshot 2020-11-02 at 23.00.04.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/116792i46CAD2E1F56928D9/image-dimensions/502x219?v=v2 "Screenshot 2020-11-02 at 23.00.04.png")

After that, hovering over the grey marker at the left of the first row will show a + sign to add a row at the top.

If you want that row to be the new header row, just activate it again.

comments: author: Will Crowder
body: Actually, it looks like it's just a matter of hitting the + at the header row itself? That seems reasonably straightforward (unlike my prior opinion :-)).

Is there a way to link parts of text on a page to graphics in the same page?
Asked by Aly Harper:

I am new to Confluence and I'm not sure if this is possible. I am working on a project where I need my text on the left and a graphic to pop up on the right when you click on a specific link. I have done a two column layout with the 'import word document' inside the 'panel macro' so all the text can scroll. There are reference graphics that need to be next to the text.

Ex. I have a large document explaining a design. Before the explanations it might say "see figure 36". I need to be able to click on "see figure 36" and have the corresponding graphic show up next to the text.

Is this possible or are there an alternate ideas anyone might have?

Thank you so much for any help!


Answers:
author: Monique Khairuliana[ServiceRocket]
body: hmmm maybe use the [expand macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-expand-macro/) ? add the image inside the expand macro and the "see figure 36" as the title of the expand macro.

comments: author: Aly Harper
body: Thank you for your answer, that definitely worked for function but not layout plan :( . My boss is really wanting the image to pop open on the right while the text is on the left side in a panel macro to scroll. I am going to pitch it into the text with the expand macro as well. Any other ideas are greatly appreciated or if this just isn't possible that is also appreciated to know! Thank you so much ?

Welcome to the community!

Changing the indexing language to be used in your Confluence site may improve the accuracy of Confluence search results if the majority of the content in your site is in a language other than English.

Confluence supports content indexing in:

Arabic  
Brazilian  
Chinese  
CJK  
Custom Japanese  
Czech  
Danish  
Dutch  
English (default)  
Finish  
French  
German  
Greek  
Hungarian  
Italian  
Norwegian  
Persian  
Romanian  
Russian  
Spanish  
Swedish  
To configure the indexing language:

Go to \> General Configuration then choose Edit.

Select the Indexing Language from the dropdown list in the Formatting and International Settings section.

Choose Save.

comments: author: Mikhail Melnikov
body: [@Soumyadeep Mandal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3861721), thank you!

But the configuration page of the Confluence states that:
> Temporarily, currently only sysadmin can change the indexing language and reindex all documents. Contact Atlassian Support if you need help.

And the dropdown list is disabled --- <https://take.ms/X0LAi1>

How do you exclude the "Favourite" labels in a custom macro?
Asked by Ingrid S Talbot:

I have a macro that prints the labels on a page, so that I show display the labels above the fold in our knowledge base.

I've actually created two, which I have sourced from [here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Is-there-a-way-to-place-a-list-of-the-page-s-labels-in-a/qaq-p/570841) and [here.](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/page-properties-report-show-labels/qaq-p/1114106)  
Both work perfectly well, in that they print the labels on the page.

But.  
I have recently noticed that when users have clicked "Save for Later", this then gets included as a label. In the one macro, this gets printed just as the word "favourite", in the other, it is printed as "my:favourite" (or the username of the person it not myself).

If multiple people have saved the page, then that many "favourites" appear in the macro.

![Screenshot 2020-11-02 at 16.48.00.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/116734i92734DAC75172CA5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2020-11-02 at 16.48.00.png")

**Question:** How does one exclude the favourites?

(and why are these labels, in the first place?)


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: I was unaware of these labels, but they make sense as an easy way to mark these pages.

To fix your issue, you are going to have to filter your output (test each label to see if it contains "favourite" before listing on a page.

comments: author: Nicolas Casel
body: Thanks [@Bill Bailey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502089) , it works fine:

```
#foreach ($label in $content.getLabels())
#if ($label.getName() != "favourite")
<a id="clickable-label" class="aui-label" href="$req.contextPath/label/$space.key/$label.getName()">$label.getName()</a>
#end
#end
```

And it could be improved by using a ' while ' condition ;-)

Confiforms date field - Manual entry defaults to Dec 31 1969
Asked by Jason Walsh:

Good morning,

Quick question regarding date fields in Confiforms.

I have a date field and it appears that the user can enter in different date formats in the field (ie: 08/10/2019) whereas the date picker format is MMM dd, yyyy. When the record is saved, it doesn't throw an error and if I go in to "Edit" the record the date is displayed as "Dec 31, 1969"

Might be a validation rule I need to set but was unable to find any literature online. let me know if there's a fix for this, thanks!


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: If a value given by the user cannot be parsed then it is set to "initial value" of a timestamp, which is what you see.

The easiest way is either to use a regular expression validation on a date field or have a field definition rules macro that verifies the date's timestamp is bigger than 0 (if you allow dates after the Dec 31, 1969 only)

Alex

comments: author: Jason Walsh
body: Are you able to elaborate a bit or provide an example of how this is done? How would I phrase that in a field definition rule?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Could you actually tell me the version of ConfiForms you are using, as I was not able to really set anything else into a date field than the value that is accepted by the "date pattern"

![Screenshot 2020-11-02 at 20.19.16.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/116759iC0CA2CB87AFEBEBC/image-dimensions/500x166?v=v2 "Screenshot 2020-11-02 at 20.19.16.png")


author: Jason Walsh
body: It's an older version of Confiforms 2.0.31

Could I not just code a validation rule to force the date format from the date picker? I tried MMM dd, yyyy but it kicks back dates from the date picker as well, am I missing something?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Please update your version. You are using something what is 1.5 years old and we have had so many updates during since.

The current version of ConfiForms app is so much better than the one you have...

i don't know where its that


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

For page specific permissions, you can use "restrictions" on a page - look for the padlock icon on the page edit - you'll be able to set "read" or "read and write" restrictions.

Embedding the project chart/gantt chart into documentation
Asked by Provangelist:

Dear community,

Currently, I am evaluating the possibility of using JIRA+Confluence tandem for the product management process. Due to working with the partners, external stakeholders those do not use Agile product management practices, we need to move still with the traditional Project Management.
