Jira chart: 2 dimensional width/height change
Asked by Katrina Atkinson:

I have a confluence page that pulls a jira chart. The Jira chart I am pulling is the 2-dimensional option. I would like to increase the size of the overall table. CSS stylesheets and most trouble shooting has not changed the dimensions.

Engineering changes in Confluence
Asked by Jim Brown:

Are there any tutorials or other docs on how to manage engineering changes using Confluence?


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Jim Brown](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5032416) ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Here an useful article <https://www.atlassian.com/agile/product-management/requirements>

You can track requirment in Confluence, define user stories in JIRA and track your code in bitbucket. In that way you have a full control of your work from requirment to code and release.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

comments: author: Jim Brown
body: Appreciate your reply Fabio. Unfortunately, the functionality described in the referenced article is not what we are looking for. The article focuses on ++specifying++ requirements.

We are looking for a way to **manage a continuum of engineering changes** over the lifecycle of products as defects and emerging requirements manifest. I have yet to discover how Confluence can be used to accomplish this. We may be able to cobble something together in Jira by customizing issue categories but I'm too green at this point to know for certain. We may need a different s/w package altogether. The Atlassian tools seems very useful in general; it's just not clear if they are a good fit for this particular need.

author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Jim Brown](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5032416) Welcome to the Atlassian Community. Can you be a bit more specific about your use case? Are you referring to Product Release Notes? Process changes?

I'd love to help, but with the current information I don't know what direction to point you in.

comments: author: Jim Brown
body: Andy,

We just bought Jira, Bitbucket, and Confluence (all cloud) and we'd like to manage engineering changes (i.e. ECRs/ECOs/ECNs) as part of configuration control for our products (h/w and s/w). I saw another thread on this forum where someone was asking for a Jira plug-in to accomplish this same thing and someone at Atlassian answered that Confluence was the way to go. The poster replied later that it was working out well. I'd like to know if there are any online resources to help us do the same.

Thanks,

Jim

How to create a drop down menu or pick list in the Confluence Template "ITSM Change Management?"
Asked by Ashebe.Pierre:

How to create a drop down menu or pick list in the Confluence Template "ITSM Change Management?"


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft Support
body: HI [@Ashebe.Pierre](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5032358) ,

You can edit templates in the Global Templates and Blueprints section af your Confluence settings. Locate the "ITSM Change Management" and click edit. note that you need to have corresponding permissions for this action.

![templates.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/216285i23D6CBE2E6E276B2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "templates.PNG")

After this, you can adjust the template to your needs. As for the drop-down menu, Confluence doesn't have this functionality. However, there are multiple third-party apps on the Atlassian Marketplace that could help you.

For example, our [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence-formatting-and-interactive-ui?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=handy-macros-traffic-sources&utm_id=1216111&utm_content=drop_down_in_ITSM) would allow you to create custom status sets with unlimited number of statuses to choose from. You'll need to create a set with options just once. After that, it can be reused over many Confluence pages. This Handy Status macro works as a drop-down on your pages.

Another benefit is that Handy Status can be changed in the page view mode without switching to the edit mode.

![ITSM.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/216286iA6B71A0FA8A147A9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "ITSM.PNG")

Hope that helps!

body: [@Stiltsoft Support](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4550250) Is there a limit to the number of Handy Macros you can use on a single page before a performance hits? I am working with a client on using the Handy macros, and their page is several tables with five columns and ten rows each, and 4 out of the 5 have a Handy Macro. While working with the client, the page crawled and stalled out. The page worked perfectly before the macros were applied and published. Any idea why this would be?

Is there a way to create a simple list which users may view and add suggestions?
Asked by Irenio Calmon-Huang:

The previous equivalent of this was the old tasklist macro:  
[Tasklist Macro - Confluence 3.5 - Atlassian Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF35/Tasklist+Macro)

\* Being able to add to a list without having to enter edit mode.

\* Allows for simple deletion or re-arranging of entries.

Nice to have:  
\* Timestamp each entry

\* Credits it to the submitter.

body: Hi [@Irenio Calmon-Huang](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5032356) and welcome to the community

Confluence cloud has already this functionality, but not with the same layout as the showcased example. You can do the following

* Add an action items on page
* Use the @ to assign it to a user
* Use the date macro to add the task's due date![Tasks on page.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/216484i6064B102C9B86FC2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Tasks on page.png")
* Create a new Page and add the Template Task Report
* Adjust its properties accordingly

How can I search for a Page in Confluence with the page ID
Asked by Jakob Glenz:

I want to publish a version of my confluence site into the public version.

Somehow I receive an error that one page with the ID 192906679 cannot be published due to different data which is on this page.

Looking up for this page, I cannot found it in my confluence site.

So, how can I search for a confluence page with an ID?


Answers:
author: Michiel S.
body: I think the easiest way would be to open a page you are allowed to view and go to the "Advanced details \> Page Information" menu option.

You now have the URL you require to insert a pageId and can replace the ID with the one you want to look up.

Should look something like this:

```
https://CONFLUENCE_BASEURL/wiki/pages/viewinfo.action?pageId=
```

Even when you don't have permission to view this page, you will probably be able to see the space the page is in (unless you don't have that permission either) and you can take it from there.

comments: author: Anthony Sylvester
body: Did not work :(


author: Michiel S.
body: Can you provide some more details [@Anthony Sylvester](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/351033)?

What didn't work, what did you try, what URL did you try, was it on server/dc/cloud, etc.?

Currently, it is not clear to me why it would not work for you because I don't have enough information.


author: Florian Bonniec
body: Hi [@Jakob Glenz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5032346)

You can use the REST API to find the page.

Just add this url to your browser after updating the variable base on your env.

CONFLUENCE_BASEURL/rest/api/content/PAGE_ID

It will return a json and you will be able to find the title of the page and the space the page is in.

Regards

comments: author: Michiel S.
body: Thanks. I noticed it is impossible to use this method when the page is restricted.

I just tried that method and got

```
{
"statusCode": 403,
"data": {
"authorized": false,
"valid": false,
"errors": [
{
"message": {
"key": "confluence.user.view.permissions.on.entity",
"translation": "User **id** does not have view permissions on entity page: **pageid** v.2",
"args": []
}
}
],
"successful": false
},
"message": "com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.PermissionException: User **id** does not have view permissions on entity page: **pageid** v.2"
}
```

So this does not help me even though I am site and global admin, I am still not even permitted to know in which space the page is, or what the title is.

How to embed Mocky page onto a Confluence page

Link Directory
Asked by Steven Sgarlata:

Is there a way to create a directory of links (Confluence Page) and have hyperlinks on other pages open from the directory page? My goal is to have a single link that will be used on other pages so if it needs to be updated only one hyperlink address will be changed. I am not looking to use the Anchor option, I would like to try and have a link open when clicked not navigate to the link directory.


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone

Have you tried using the Page Tree Macro for this? It can render a list of links to the specified pages in a Space or under a specific parent page. The macro will update the links as you create, update and edit the pages that the macro references.

Is this what you are looking for?

comments: author: Steven Sgarlata
body: Thanks Andy! This might be what I need, I will give it a shot.


author: Steven Sgarlata
body: Hey Andy, I am trying to make a directory of links that are not Confluence pages. The files are from Google Drive, Box.com, and Miro. We use our Confluence page as a directory for all of our processes, training, and design criteria. My intent was to create a master Hyperlink Page that I could use on other pages, but these links exist outside of Confluence. This might not be possible but I want to be sure before I go another route.


author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Steven Sgarlata](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5032170) you certainly can do this with the Excerpt and Excerpt Include Macro. This way you only ever have to change the hyperlinks on the master page where you are employing the Excerpt Macro and reference them on the page you want them to appear on with the Include Excerpt Macro.

Here are links to the documentation on both:

Delete a board when admin can't login anymore
Asked by Urs Langenegger:

Dear community,

we have a tricky issue with some of our trello boards.

An employee created 2-3 boards as admin a few years ago. As he isn't working for us anymore, his Google email-address was also deactivated. But as he used Google as login, he can't login into trello to delete the boards. We therefore are stuck with a few boards where the admin can't login anymore.

Is there any way to delete an old board in this situation? Thank you in advance and best regards!


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley

Deactivating managed Trello accounts without deactivating the Atlassian account, is this possible?
Asked by Jay McCarogher:

We currently make use of a number of Atlassian cloud products and we use Access to manage our internal user accounts. Recently a user created a Trello account using an email address from our claimed domain. They did this in error.

This however, has had the unintentional consequence of taking us over our Access tier user-cap. Ideally, we don't want to delete this account, as it belongs to a member of senior management, who has used Atlassian products in the past and may require a licence in the future. (I need to do this with as little disruption to the end user as possible)

Is there a way of deleting the Trello account without impacting the users' Atlassian account? And is there an easier way of managing Trello accounts? Trello doesn't come up under my listed products, I am able to view Access, JSW, JSD and Confluence but not Trello, how are these managed accounts if I have no way of managing Trello?
