Is there a support from Atlassian for migrating from MSSQL to PostgreSQL?
Asked by KarstenK:

Hello,

I have a very large Confluence instance here and need to migrate it to a new environment.

The current database is a MSSQL but I need to migrate everything to a PostgreSQL db.

Unfortunately the XML backup is not running in a decent amount of time (currently it's already running since 13h).

So my question is if you have tools in place that maybe can help me with the migration.

Also hints to boost the XML backup performance are appreciated.

Best regards,

Karsten

I think Atlassian will not help on Database migration from one to another.

Did you raised any support ticket, if not , Please try with support , may be then can provide an alternative.

Thanks


author: Joshua Sneed Contegix
body: Hi Karsten,

Confluence is terrible at exporting to XML, but there are a few things to try.

* Truncate the synchrony tables
* Delete any unused pages or spaces
* Purge the trash for all spaces
* Modify JVM arguments for efficiency
* Give the host more resources

Outside of that you will be looking into methods not supported by Atlassian or will need help from an Atlassian Partner. Cheers!

Does the page properties reprort work at the moment in confluence cloud?
Asked by Michael Mueller:

Does the page properties reprort work at the moment in confluence cloud?  

Tried this between different spaces and within the same space with no success.  

hmm maybe just a very stupid thing that i am doing wrong?   

I label page a with "alabel" and have the page property macro in it.  
I create page b with the page properties report macro to search for "alabel".

Still works for me.

Follow the instructions on the [page properties](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-macro/) and [page properties report](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-report-macro/) pages, and see if this works for you.

To test the functionality, I would try creating it utilising the examples on these two pages also. Sometimes it does require a little fiddling to get it correct; the examples are a good learning path here.

Percent complete for Confluence task list?
Asked by Brylie Christopher Oxley:

We have defined a task list in a Confluence page. It would be useful to summarize the progress towards completing the task list without having to count the checkmarks.

How can we add a widget displaying the percentage of tasks that have been marked as complete (by checking them off)?

You may use the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app.

Use the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Toolbox+macro) macro to wrap your source table in the [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) and [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) macro and get the required result:

Here I've chosen to hide the source table for the screenshots to look more clear, but you may tick the corresponding options for the Pivot Table and Chart from Table macros and show your whole source table as well:

Confluence update to unlicensed users
Asked by Michael Schiller:

Dear Team,

sorry if this questions have been asked and I'm more then happy if you just point that out to me as my search skills are lacking success today

My question would be, we are setting up Confluence to allow non licensed customers of ours to get newest updates of documents via Confluence. Is there a way to send an "watcher" or automatic E-mail to all customers after a new page have been created or an old page have been edited?

Thanks for your help

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No. Unlicenced users have very limited access, via their Jira account, they don't really exist in Confluence, so there's no way to tag them for watching or other things.

Confluence solution to create a sheet with maker checker option enabled on each new row addition
Asked by Ankit Gupta:

Hi All,

I am looking for a confluence solution where we create a table(excel table) and multiple users can add/edit row to it with their specific inputs. Once the rows are added/edited, each change done on row goes to approver for review. once change on a is row reviewed and approved, particular row becomes visible to all users. Also an email alert is triggered for approved/rejected rows .

Kindly suggest me the solution for this.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Ankit,

Welcome to Atlassian Community! It's nice to have you join us.

While Confluence is excellent for creating wikis, blogs, and documentation, to solve your requirement, you'll need to have an IT service management solution instead, like Atlassian's [Jira Service Management](https://www.atlassian.com/blog/announcements/introducing-jira-service-management) product.

Have a look at how that workflow would look in Jira Service Management from our documentation:

* [Set up an approval stage for a request](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/set-up-an-approval-stage-for-a-request/)

If you'd like to [see a demonstration](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/service-management/demo), you can join one of our upcoming weekly product demos!

Let us know if you have any questions about that.

Take care,

Shannon

How do I count checkboxes in confluence table without hiding source table?
Asked by ???:

![2021-01-29 12_37_59-RHSA-2021_0221_ sudo ???? - BPI BanKo Regular Operation - Confluence - Chrome.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127947iC87A758DBD7D116F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2021-01-29 12_37_59-RHSA-2021_0221_ sudo ???? - BPI BanKo Regular Operation - Confluence - Chrome.png")

I read this previous question

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Counting-checkboxes-in-Confluence-Table/qaq-p/1015198>

but this doesn't help in my case since the pivot table automatically hides the source.

How can I count checkboxes without disturbing original table?


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@???](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4231749) ,

You've found the right answer with the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app.

What concerns your worries about the source table, the Pivot macro allows you to hide it (as was shown into the previous question).

If you need to show the source table along with your pivot, just tick the corresponding field in the Pivot macro settings:

![Fri 2-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127997i5D3AFDE1A9C8D71D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Fri 2-1.png")

If you need to visualize you result and have to wrap your table both in the Pivot and Chart from Table macros, then use the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Toolbox+macro) macro.

Cloud editor has its limitations, so you'll be able to wrap you source table into one macro (for example, Source Table \<- Pivot), but you'll need the Table Toolbox to use more than one macro wrapped into each other (Source Table \<- Pivot \<- Chart from Table).

Here is an example of checkboxes' counting and visualization with the help of the Table Toolbox macro: [https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Percent-complete-for-Confluence-task-list/qaq-p/1595470](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Percent-complete-for-Confluence-task-list/qaq-p/1595470?)

Cards, labels, suddenly everything got larger!
Asked by Julio Montesinos:

Hi guys!

It has happende twice today and I do not really know how to explain in it propperly but suddenly all cards and color labels inside them got larger (ie I am able to view THE SAME NUMBER of columns per screen but LESS cards per column)

First time I got it back (without really knowing what button I was pushing) and I believe it has something to do with the mouse,

I just know it is NOT the Ctrl +/- that makes de whole screen bigger/smaller!!

Any tips will be appreciated

Thanks a lot for the help!


Answers:
author: Caity
body: Hi Julio,

It sounds like you may have clicked on one of the labels. Clicking on a label will switch between showing the title of the label and showing just the label color.

When the title is displayed, the labels will become larger in order to fit the title text on there, which will make the whole card take up a bit more space. Then, if you click the label again, the title will disappear, and the labels and cards will take up less space.

Does that match up with what you were seeing? If not, please send a screenshot the next time this happens, and we'll be glad to take a look!

Effect of subscribing to a board?
Asked by Ian Campbell:

If I subscribe to a board, am I subscribed to every list and card on the board (which I want), or do I still need to make some individual subscriptions?

Answers:
author: Marta Galofre de Alos
body: Hi Ian,

Marta here, from Trello Support.

Right now, if you subscribe to a board, you'll be automatically subscribed to its lists and cards.

Therefore, you'll get notifications for...

* All comments on all cards
* Adding, changing, and upcoming due dates in all cards
* Card moves and archives
* You'll also get notifications for all newly created cards

I hope that helps! You've got more info on that here: <http://help.trello.com/article/799-subscribing-to-cards-lists-and-boards>

Call Log
Asked by Adal Fraile:

Hi,

I am currrently using Trello and would like to ask if there is any power-up or browser add-ons for keeping an automatic call stats counter based on user card activity.

Say a custom check mark field or call button, when clicked a call stats counter will be updated.

It can be single text list or excel file:

Todays calls: 20  
This weeks calls: 80  
This months calls: 320  
November calls: 215  
October calls: 190  
September calls: 389  
etc


Answers:
author: Marta Galofre de Alos
body: Hi Adal,

Marta here, from Trello Support.

Right now, there aren't any Power-Ups that would provide that functionality. If you're interested in that, please fill out this form so my team can take it into account: <https://trello.typeform.com/to/DLUonY?source=meta>

For now, you could maybe add a "Call" label to your cards and export that to a Spreadsheet to run a report at the end of the week or month. Trello does currently have an export feature, available under the Board Menu \> More \> Print and Export. The format is JSON, which lends itself well to technical usages, but doesn't load into common programs like Excel. Thus, the export is primarily for people looking to crunch the data with programs of their own or just to back up their data in case of emergency.  

If you need spreadsheet support, check out either of these third-party Chrome extensions:  
<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/export-for-trello/nhdelomnagopgaealggpgojkhcafhnin?hl=en-US>  
<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trelloexport/kmmnaeamjfdnbhljpedgfchjbkbomahp>  

Alternatively, if you upgrade to Trello Business Class (<https://trello.com/business-class>), you can export your board data as a CSV directly from Trello. That can be opened in any desktop spreadsheet program.

I hope that helps somehow!

iPad installs in German language - I need English
Asked by Rasmus ?sterbye:

When installing the iPad version from AppStore it installs as default in German Language. This is annoying as my iPad is setup in Danish and I want to have the Trello app in English as this is the corporate language.

I have double checked all iOS settings, and there is absolutely nothing else in German.


Answers:
author: Marta Galofre de Alos
body: Hi Rasmus,

Marta here, from Trello Support.

Could you go to your Settings app, then go to General ? International ? Language? We expect that German would be above English as a preferred language for your phone to be putting the app in German. Making English a priority over German should set things to rights. If that's not the case, please contact us at trello.com/contact so we can further troubleshoot this.
