How to SORT Decision reports
Asked by Andrew Rajkovic:

Hi, I've created a Decision Log using Decision report to capture the page title and decision for that page. I have titled the pages with a date first YYYY-MM-DD then Meeting Name. But I can't find anyway of Sorting the report to show the most recent date to the oldest. I can Filter but not sort or order the list in anyway. My pages are all in order under the parent page. Please assist. Thank you

Maybe you have the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app installed for your instance - it is our addon and it's compatible with the Decision Report macro.

Its [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) macro will help you to filter and sort your report - please check [this old thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Decision-report-macro-now-available-to-aggregate-all-your/ba-p/1521548) where I gave several screenshots for the similar case.

The option to filter is there but not sort. These 2 options should be mandatory and free for all tables. Thanks for your help.


author: Earl McCutcheon
body: Howdy Y'all,

Just providing a quick update to this thread to provide some additional context, there was a Bug affecting Sort functionality in the decision report that lines up with the timeframe of this post.

The details can be seen in the link below, noting that it has been fixed since then, and the pages in the decision report macro are now always sorted by the title:

Access to other Active Directory in the forest
Asked by Pavel Rusakov:

There is an Active Directory forest. Confluence is accessed by system domain users via LDAP. After adding these users to the security groups of other Active Directory in the forest, users are no longer able to authenticate to Confluence.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Pavel Rusakov](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4362922) Could you share a little more about how your LDAP query is setup? Are the users still syncing and showing up in Confluence? Are they still added to a group that applies a Confluence license?

Looking for creative way to have an interactive calendar
Asked by Karen Wyland:

It's not going to be a terribly busy calendar. Just events for various user groups meet ups. So, each head of a user group could simple put their events in a list or table format. But would like those to then popular a calendar.

as [@Vero Rivas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3912760) mentioned, Team Calenders is a great possibility to work with calendars in Confluence. However, this is a Confluence Premium feature.  

If you don't have Confluence Premium, this app is another great option: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217554/outlook-calendars-for-confluence?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217554/outlook-calendars-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview "https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217554/outlook-calendars-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview")

Page Properties Report- flag or condition not to show
Asked by Jason H:

Good Evening,

I may be using the Page Properties report incorrectly and will accept correction gratefully.

Currently track about a hundred different 'program' status states in Confluence and roll them up into a Page Properties report. Some of these are becoming EOL and I'd like to have them be able to be hidden / not shown with either a flag (on the individual program confluence page) or by sorting /filtering.

Is this within the ability of this macro?

If not, is there a fit from something already available?

Thank you kindly.


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Jason H](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4274674) ,

We can suggest using our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview).

The addon supports dynamic Confluence macros such as Page Properties Report, Jira Issues, Content Report Table, etc. and allow you to [filter your data](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) (and set [inversed filters](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Table+filtration#Tablefiltration-Filteringrowsnotequaltoselectedvalues) to hide specific rows as well), create pivots and visualize your information.

[Here is our recent blog post](https://stiltsoft.com/blog/2021/04/table-filter-and-charts-with-page-properties-report/) related to the Page Properties Report macro and the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app for you to check.

comments: author: Jason H
body: My apologies for the delay in responding. Thank you for the information. Indeed, that looks like it would work, however as it is not built in there's security audit and approval... which could take a while... and the budget requests. It is a hard sale when the entire company would have to license it for only 1 program.

I'll keep looking but keep it in mind for future efforts.

Thank you.

Displaying Confluence knowledge base through jira service manager chat
Asked by Jake Jamgotchian:

Hello Atlassian community. I am having trouble getting the following situation set up. My team is working on developing a SaaS that will include a chat feature for support. We want end users to have the ability to access the Knowledge Base from Confluence via that chat for quick answers. I have so far created dummy Knowledge Base articles, created a support project in Jira Service Manager, and linked the two together. I added a chat API, however I am not sure if it is what I need.

What steps do I need to take from here in order to get this set up? Once I do set it up, how can I test to make sure it to make sure it is working as expect? I ideally don't want to test it within our current app so it doesn't disrupt the developers.

Thanks!

Is there a way to organize where on the back of the card a custom field appears?
Asked by Eliyahu Skaist:

I have upwards of 15 custom fields on my boards.  
some of the information displayed is;

1) Only Relevant later in the life cycle of a project

2) Better displayed neighboring similar information entered in other custom fields

e.g Contract Value, PTD, and Balance are all numbers i would like displayed on the (face of) cards. However, unless I delete the other custom fields and re-create them, trying to predict how they will be ordered on the card, this information would all be broken up by contact information, client information, etc..

Is there a click and drag ordering method available which does not require messing with the API?

Thanks

author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Eliyahu Skaist](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2814593) nope there's now way to re-order them, but I did just post this answer on another thread that might help:

Admin to Board Admin
Asked by Tom West:

Hi,

I am an admin of our trello team, in fact I created it. We have a lot of old boards which we are trying to archive, but many of them were created by others.

My understanding, was that as an Admin, I should have the option to change my permissions on the board to become a **Board Admin**. However, when I click on my avatar, the option to do so is greyed out:

![trello-admin.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/47716i24AB51126610F6CE/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "trello-admin.png")

So I'm a bit stuck and I don't want to have to go around the team and ask them to close the boards they've created, if they are still here....

Any information would be appreciated.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Tom West](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2814060) as the team admin, you should be able to remove the boards from your team, but you can't close the boards unless you're a board admin. Board admin and team admin are completely separate things.

I can't add new lists or boards
Asked by David_Thomas:

I am trying out Trello Free.

I have created 1 board with 6 lists. When I try to create a seventh List , nothing happens - well there's a momentary jiggle of the existing lists, but when it settles, there's no new list.

When I try to create a new Board, I give it a name but the cursor indicates I can't do that (red slashed circle) when I mouse over the Create Board button. There's a message visible: "Checking Visibility Permissions".

Any ideas anyone?

Answers:
author: David_Thomas
body: OK I wandered off to try another product, and when I came back to my Trello tab I had a new Home page showing, like a 'desktop' view I had not seen before, and I was then able to create a new board and new list.

Uploading file in Trello -- upload is frozen
Asked by Doug Klocke:

I was trying to upload an attachment to a Trello board from my computer. (File size only 2MB.) It loaded 8% and then has been frozen for hours.

I've logged off and back on, but it's still showing a progress bar stuck at 8%.


Answers:
author: Jodi LeBlanc
body: Hi [@Doug Klocke](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2811235) did you just log off and reboot? What browser are you using and are you using the desktop app or the web version of Trello?

comments: author: Doug Klocke
body: I just logged off. I have not closed down the browser. (Although that's probably something I should have tried.) Nor have I re-started my computer.

I'm using Chrome on a Mac, and using the web version of Trello.


author: Jodi LeBlanc
body: Thanks Doug, please close the browser and shut down your computer and let me know if that helps.

Thanks,

Jodi


author: Doug Klocke
body: Sorry I couldn't get back to you last night.

After shutting down my computer overnight (all night), then starting up this morning, and logging in to Trello, it's still showing a progress bar stuck at 8%.

Other people on the card are able to post comments.


author: Doug Klocke
body: Just to close the loop... I'm an idiot. The 8% that I thought was a progress bar for uploading the file was actually the percent completion of the checklist on that board. (duh)

Something weird ***was*** happening yesterday. The file I was trying to upload was not uploading. **BUT** it worked just now, so I'm back in business.


author: Jodi LeBlanc
body: Hi Doug, you are definitely not an idiot! That could have happened to any of us, the combination of both happening at once (the checklist percentage and the file not uploading). I am glad it is now resolved for you and you are back in business.

Have a great day!

Lost comment on card
Asked by Rachael Logan:

Using Trello and had a Description on a card within a board. I tried to save the updates I had made to the Description, and received an error about HTML (sorry - didn't capture exact message).

I copy/pasted my edits into a comment, and posted it. The comment was present on the card. Shortly after, my internet connection was lost. When I regained connection, neither the edits made to the Description, or the comment I had posted, were present.

Just lost a lot of notes in the process... any way to get them back, or am I out of luck?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Rachael Logan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2810891) You can see a list of all description edits by following these instructions:

<https://help.trello.com/article/783-recovering-the-description-of-a-card-that-has-been-changed>

If the comment isn't showing on the card, then it no longer exists -- when you type things into a card it is saved in local storage (on all platforms) until saved. If you're in a web browser this means you can sometimes see what appears to have been lost by using the back button.

Unless these resolve the issue then the content is gone :(

How can I turn off the self-populating search function in Trello?
Asked by Alisha Thomas:

For the last few weeks as I have been navigating Trello as I normally have, the search function decides to conduct a search of all cards using my email address as the search criteria. When I delete my email address and try to navigate again, it will sometimes go away for good, but other time will continue to come up annoying the living daylights out of me. How can I make it so the search function doesn't autopopulate?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Alisha Thomas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2811163) I'm not clear on where/how this is happening, perhaps if you posted a screencast demonstrating the issue it'd be easier to understand.

You can use useloom.com to do a free screencast.

comments: author: Alisha Thomas
body: Here is what I'm experiencing. I have the menu for the boards always open on the left side because I go back and forth all day. so the search function appears in both the menu on the left and in the search bar to the right of the Home button. When this happens, my board options on the left disappear until I clear out the search section. And then sometime later, the same thing will happen again without any promptings.

![Search.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/47664iDE83EF86AA74EDFC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Search.JPG")


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Alisha Thomas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2811163) the only thing that I can imagine is happening here is that for some reason your web browser is automatically populating these fields with your email address because of some previously saved information.

Are you able to replicate this issue using the desktop app? If not, then the above is most likely the culprit, and you will need to clear out saved field data from your browsing history.


author: Alisha Thomas
body: I am using this on my desktop. And the browsing history makes sense. I will give it a whirl.


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Alisha Thomas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2811163) Trello has both a desktop application, and a web application you can use through a desktop web browser.

What I was referring to was seeing if you could replicate this behaviour in the desktop application, which would indicate that this is an issue specific to your browser rather than to Trello.

Anyway see how you go and report back! Thanks


author: Alisha Thomas
body: Actually, the problem is still happening. I use the program online on my computer in the online application. I assumed that it was a desktop application, but it's a web application. I have yet to figure out where the desktop application is because when I search for it on my desktop applications, I would have to 'download' it. Which, to me, means that I've never used the desktop application so I wouldn't need to worry about changing anything in the desktop application.
