You're running into a warning and not an error. At the same time, the warning is not the most useful and can be ignored so far. So, what is stopping you from proceeding with the setup?

Looking for user management tools in Confluence
Asked by Ken Poulton:

I would like to find users who have not logged in within a certain time. Is there a way to list users that way?

There is a 'Confluence Users Summary' macro which claims to do this, but the last login times are all blank.

Are there other tools for managing thousands of users?


Answers:
author: Arnav Ghatage
body: Hi Ken,

I'm Arnav from the miniOrange Team!

To simplify user management and effortlessly identify users who haven't logged in within a specific timeframe, I would recommend you try our [miniOrange Bulk User Management App for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224482/deactivate-inactive-user-bulk-user-management-for-confluence?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview).

Table Transformer not able to use Jira Label field
Asked by gautamdey:

Im trying put a Jira data using the Jira using Jira filter and then use the table Filter.

I used this query

SELECT T1.'Summary' as 'Deliverables',  
T1.'Status' as 'Status',  
CASE  
WHEN MATCH_REGEXP(T1.'Labels', 'mco')  
THEN "MCO"  
WHEN MATCH_REGEXP(T1.'Labels', 'cloud')  
THEN "CLOUD"  
WHEN MATCH_REGEXP(T1.'Labels', 'DE')  
THEN "DE"  
WHEN MATCH_REGEXP(T1.'Labels', 'k8s-Security-squad')  
THEN "Security"  
WHEN MATCH_REGEXP(T1.'Labels', 'ccm')  
THEN "CCM"  
WHEN MATCH_REGEXP(T1.'Labels', 'mms')  
THEN "MMS"  
WHEN MATCH_REGEXP(T1.'Labels', 'mls')  
THEN "MLS"  
ELSE "No Team"  
END as 'Team', T1.'Assignee' as 'Owner',T1.'Due' as 'Due Date',T1.'Planned "Done" Date' as 'Planned Done Date'  
FROM T1  
ORDER BY T1.'Summary' ASC

The case is not working, its not able to match properly the label string, my label string have words "mco" , "Security" ,"DE" etc .

When the label is blank it satisfy the Else part but when there is value in the label it marks everything as MCO , no matter what the label is


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@gautamdey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5310592) ,

The issue is in the function: use not MATCH_REGEXP(T1.'Labels', 'mco') but MATCH_REGEXP(T1.'Labels', **"** mco**"**).

You should update every MATCH_REGEXP function in the query.

The 'mco' reference ( the ' ' quotes) means that you want to call out a column. The "mco" reference ( the " " quotes) means that you use a string in your query. And here our purpose is to find a specific string inside each cell.

Status Macro
Asked by Dwayne Simpson:

I'm trying to do a basic onboarding/offboarding form using the status macro. How do I assign an action to a status or change in status?


Answers:
author: TC Wang
body: Hi [@Dwayne Simpson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5301961) welcome to the community!  

The status macro allows you to add a colored label to your Confluence page to indicate the status of a task, a project, or a document. However, the status macro does not have any built-in functionality to assign an action to a status or change in status. You will need to use some additional apps or integrations to achieve this.

You can try to find some apps in the Atlassian Marketplace. [Automation for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215460/automation-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=datacenter) might suit your needs.

Hope the above helps!

Help Center access for staff only
Asked by Dan Foster:

Hi everyone, thank you for taking the time to review my post.

I work for a franchised company at the corporate level, and we have been looking at setting up a confluence space with related help center, to which we'd like to provide access to all of our franchise staff, for the purpose of publishing help articles, guides, etc. We do not want this space made fully public, as there would be some potentially sensitive information contained within.

I have been investigating on how we can grant access to this without a) adding them individually 1 by 1 (there are 500+ users) and b) without needing to provide them with a confluence license.

I've identified the ability to allow account creation limited by email domain, which is what we'd like to do for this, but this option creates a full confluence account for the user. We don't want this because a) we just want these users to be able to access the help center only and b) with so many users the cost would be substantial.

So to sum up, we'd like to have a confluence help center accessible to our franchise staff, limiting access by email domain, but keeping those users as "customers" and not full blown confluence users. Is this possible? Thank you for your help.


Answers:
author: RPT Admin
body: Confluence Cloud Premium includes IP allowlisting.

(1) If you allow anonymous access to the knowledge base, anyone will be able to view it without logging in.

(2) But then if you restrict IP addresses to the range used by your organisation, people outside your organisation will be blocked from accessing.   

I don't claim any expertise in this - I'm no tech guru - so perhaps others can chip in if I'm on the wrong track here.

comments: author: Dan Foster
body: [@RPT Admin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502096) Thank you for the input, unfortunately that may be a difficult solution to implement, as we're a franchised company with 50-60 franchised locations around the world along with remote offices, the task of whitelisting IPs may be difficult. I will keep this in mind however if providing customer access by email domain is not possible

Can I add a Jira filter to a composition tab?

We migrated to Conflu Cloud and I'm trying to insert a Jira filter in a composition tab. Can this be done? It seems that the tab content is very limited compared to the on-prem version we were using.


Answers:
author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: Hi [@Rick DeLong](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5007288)

If "Composition Tabs" is a 3rd party app (like the one from Appfire) then I don;t think that's possible. Server was more advanced in such matters. My only advise is to get a confirmation from appfire's support as well.

How to wrap text around a panel
Asked by Dana Thawkho:

Hello,

In our doc spaces, we add related topics links by using the Panel macro and putting the link in it. We wanted to place these related topic panels at the top right of our topics, and the only solution we could come up with was using **Page Layout** sections.

What we do is we add two sections to each topic. We change the top section to the **Two column section with the right-side bar**layout. Then, we place the first paragraph of the topic in the left side, and the related topics panel in the right side. This works fine, but when the first paragraph is too short, there's a gap between the first paragraph and the rest of the topic because of the size of the related topics panel.

Here's an example of how it looks with the gap because of the sections:

![2023-09-06 174040.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/279116iC570A24F7A87E237/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2023-09-06 174040.png")

Instead of using sections, is there a way to format the Panel box to a specific size, and have the text wrap around it similar to an image?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Dana Thawkho](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5310287) welcome to the Atlassian community

Custom Jira field no longer mapping to Confluence report

Hello,

I have been using Confluence to create a Jira change log report.

We have a custom description field (rich text) on our issues called "Install \& Configuration". It was mapping perfectly up to a couple of weeks ago.

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?

body: Hi, thanks for the speedy response, what about plugins that interact with Jira such as custom charts, would those still work when there are multiple instance to one Confluence?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Most of them will need your users who are using them to tell them which Jira you want to interact with. For existing interactions, they'll assume the first one you connected until told otherwise.


author: Florian Bonniec
body: I do not know about every apps but you can test it before doing it. I have multiple JIRA instances link to my Confluence instance and there is no issues but I do not use this app.

If you have JIRA Gadget into Confluence added using an app, it has to be managed by the company who develop it.

On my side I usually add them as External gadget directly for each instance. There is no issues about it except that in the macro list you will have to over on Gadget URL link to know where the gadget come from and it occasionally lead to support request from users who are not able to find there filter because they selected the chart gadget from the wrong instance.

Can't one restrict a page to a team?
Asked by Crescenzo D_Alessandro:

Hi all,

I have a page in a space, and I want to restrict *just this page* to a Team. When I try to restrict access to the page, it allows me to specify *individual users* and specific *groups* , but not *teams*.

Is this the case, or am I missing something? If this is the case, why can't the access be defined per team (considering that it can be done per user, and teams are basically sets of users)?

Many thanks,

Enzo

Cross links
Asked by Valentina La Russa:

Hi,

I am working on a page and I need to insert the link to a heading that is on another page. How can I do?

<br />

Thanks


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Valentina La Russa](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5310143) Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There are multiple ways you can do this. A couple include:

* Insert an anchor in the heading on the other page and then link to the anchor.
* On the other page, hover next to the heading and select **Copy link to heading** and then use that in the link you insert.

For information on all of the ways to insert links in Confluence Cloud, see <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/>

comments: author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Barbara Szczesniak](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5187859)

I would be careful with your second approach. While the link does not fully break and will lead to the correct target site in Confluence, changes to the heading itself will break the link. That's why it's safer to go with the anchor macro.


author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: Thanks, [@Max Foerster - K15t](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/693014). Yes, I always use the anchor route, but I wanted to give Valentina a couple of the options available.


author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Valentina La Russa](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5310143), welcome to the community!

The suggested way is to use the anchor macro on the target page and link to it. You can find a step-by-step explanation in the documentation:

* [To link to an Anchor macro on another page](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/)

I hope that helps. :)

Best, Max

comments: author: Valentina La Russa
body: For some reasons, the link symbol doesn't appear close by the title I need to link to (which would allow links to titles).

Do you know why?


author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Valentina La Russa](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5310143) The link only appears when you are **viewing** the page, not in edit mode. Generally, whenever I place my mouse close to the end of the heading, this symbol appears.

If it is not appearing when you are in view mode, I'm not sure what might be the cause.


author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: What do you mean by "doesn't appear"? The macro will not be displayed when you view the page. Simply put it in a line after or before the heading and you will end up in the right spot. :)
