Forms for Confluence - line up field names
Asked by Kathryn Reddie:

Hi,

I have created a form however I cannot get the fields to line up.

I have used a bit of code previously to line up the submit button, but can't find what the code might be to line up the following form macros:

1. Checkbox button group
2. Datepicker field
3. Textarea field

I can see that I can set the width, but that doesn't alter where the fields sit (see below)

Thanks in advance,  
Kathryn.

Send registration welcome email to newly signed-up users?
Asked by 3rdjkadjk:

Hi - is there any functionality or plugin which will allow Confluence to be able to send new users a welcome e-mail with custom text and information welcoming them to the system and giving them introduction information?


Answers:
author: Charly [DEISER]
body: Hi [@3rdjkadjk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5235438)

I'm pretty sure you can use [ScriptRunner for Confluence \| Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215215/scriptrunner-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

Check this feature [Script Listeners (adaptavist.com)](https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4cc/latest/features/script-listeners)

I have not used it for Confluence, but I'm almost confident this works the same as in Jira, so you will be able to create a custom email and send it.

Hope this helps!

Is there any way to bulk edit or remove labels in archived pages?
Asked by Kate Racaza:

I have a number of labels that are no longer being used, but they continue to appear in the Label List macro. The labels are not used in any of my active pages nor in any of the trashed pages. They were used only in the previously archived pages.

I'm dealing with hundreds of pages and would rather not restore the archived pages individually just to get rid of the labels.

When I click the label name in the Label List macro, it says "There are no pages at the moment." I want to reduce clutter and remove the unused labels but there doesn't seem to be a way to do so.


Answers:
author: Amanda Barber
body: I'm not aware of a built-in way to do this, but I think ScriptRunner would work for this.

How to move very large pages
Asked by Jason Lansdowne:

I have a page that contains several hundred links/child pages that I am trying to move.

The process runs for about 40 minutes and then stops, presumably because the page (and its child pages) is too large.

Is there a functional limit to the size of page that you can move? And are there any ways to get around this limitation I am experiencing?

Confiforms: Trying to display an autolink field in a table but using fieldName.asLink doesn't work?
Asked by Evan Hiatt:

I am using Confluence version 8.1.0

I have a field definition in a confiform that is named "linkToRegistryPage". The field type is autolink. When I use a tableview macro to display all the links, it lists them in the following format:

[http://linkName1\\](http://linkName1\)extraStuff

[http://linkName2\\](http://linkName2\)extraStuff

[http://linkName3\\](http://linkName3\)extraStuff

This is fine, but I want it to just display:

Link

Link

Link

I attempted to follow this forum's instructions found here:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Confiforms-Modification-of-link-text-from-links-field/qaq-p/1500188>

So I attempted to use ".asLink(Link)" as follows:

in the confiforms field macro I define the field name as:

"linkToRegistryPage.asLink(Link)"

The output shows this:

[http://linkName1\\](http://linkName1\)extraStuff"\>Link

[http://linkName2\\](http://linkName2\)extraStuff"\>Link

[http://linkName3\\](http://linkName3\)extraStuff"\>Link

This is super weird and I can't get it to work. Any solutions?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Evan Hiatt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5238017) and welcome to this community

Autolink field itself is a HTML link - that is why the asLink function does misbehave in some way.

What you can do is the following (in the field name macro parameter)

```
linkToRegistryPage.extractText.asLink(View)
```

No email notification when I'm mentioned
Asked by Tobias Scherrmann:

If I'm mentioned on a page, I don't get an email notification. Why ?


Answers:
author: Summer Hogan
body: Hi [@Tobias Scherrmann](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5237954) - welcome to the community!

Could this be why?

* **Mention notifications** - A notification is sent to the people you mention the first time you mention them, but not for subsequent mentions. If you need to catch someone's attention, and you've already mentioned them, try sharing the page with them instead.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/mentions-251725350.html>

comments: author: Tobias Scherrmann
body: Yes, that would be possible. But how exactly does it work with sharing? Does the page have to be reshared every time I was mentioned again?

And what about tasks. If I am assigned a new task, I will not receive an email notification


author: Summer Hogan
body: [@Tobias Scherrmann](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5237954) - no I do not thing the page has to be reshared every time you were mentioned again.

Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: [@Hannah Ruth Acupan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5237916) , there is not a means of assessing a users inactivity status OOTB. Is your goal simply to see if there accessing a certain space or are you wanting to deactivate their account within confluence? If the latter you could use user management and assess when users have last been active. Using that information you can then manually deactivate them.

Asked by Hester van Dort-de With:

How can I make sure every Alliander employee can view a new Space within Confluence?


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Hester van Dort-de With](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5237920), welcome to the community! :)

Check out the Default Space Permissions page in your Confluence settings and configure it accordingly to ensure that every created space is open to all employees. You can find more information in the documentation: [Assign space permissions](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/assign-space-permissions/)

This will not prevent a space administrator from changing the permissions afterward, but it's a first step. :)

Best, Max

comments: author: Hester van Dort-de With
body: Hi Max,

Thanks for your reply. I don't really understand what to do as I can't find a group that contains all Alliander employees.![Knipsel.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/261791i849B0FDB8A166AC1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Knipsel.JPG")


author: Jack Brickey
body: Hi [@Hester van Dort-de With](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5237920) , welcome to the community.

If you want to have an open Confluence where all spaces are accessible to all of your Confluence users then you would do that by using a default scheme and ensure that every user is added to a Group or Role that has the necessary permissions. I think it might be best to start with the following article as it does a good job of explaining how permissions work in Confluence. [assign-space-permissions](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/assign-space-permissions/) . You might also find this article interest - [set-up-public-access](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/set-up-public-access/) though I don't think that's what you need for this scenario.

comments: author: Jack Brickey
body: Pulling the thread back into the original response (use reply rather than Answer)...

You would need to create that group and add the employees to it unless you are using an external directory (LDAP, Jira Access). The bottom line is that you need to define your employees into a group. You can set up the default search that when new users are added they're automatically added to a group. However you would want to be sure that that is indeed what do you want to happen. With that said it doesn't address year current users and you would need to add them to the group manually or through the APIs.

Again, I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with how permissions work in confluence and the best resource for that is the Atlassian documentation, IMO.

body: Hi Jack,

How can I automatically update metrics on a confluence page through excel spreadsheets on sharepoint
Asked by Daniella Figueroa:

I need to be able to create a table on a confluence page with metrics that automatically update when spreadsheets on share point are updated. The point of this is so avoid manual input so that the page stays updated. I'm willing to use apps like excel for confluence but if there is an easier approach that would be great.


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Daniella Figueroa](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5237896) ,

We can suggest using our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=datacenter&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app.

You will be able to insert the [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/how-to-use-table-spreadsheet-macro-83100938.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro and work with Excel-like functionality right in Confluence.

If you need to reuse and show only some part of your spreadsheet, the [Table Spreadsheet Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/how-to-use-table-spreadsheet-include-129895787.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro will do the trick.

Maybe you'll be interested in a [live demo](https://calendly.com/tablefilter/live-demo?month=2023-06)? We'll be happy to organize it for you and your team.

Calender Outlook
Asked by Aswathi D:

Could you please help me with the following situation:

As we are using Confluence for all our communications with the entities, we also used the Calendar to add meetings that we initially created in Outlook. The idea is that each of the project users can check out the calendar in Confluence and see when certain events/meetings are scheduled and then add them to their Outlook calendars.

We are now wondering if there is a smart way of doing this, that does not involve the user to create their own outlook blocker in which they add the webex details found in the Confluence calendar?

Confluence as internal and external wiki? Also, shared page w 1 client?
Asked by Adrienne Angelescu:

I'd ideally want to create a Space that is to act as a Wiki for our clients, so I would want to give view-only access to all users from all clients to that specific Space (no other spaces). I would also want this access to be invitation only (so not something anyone on the Internet can access - I'm thinking former clients or competitors).  

Moreover, (or perhaps alternatively), I would want to be able to give the users from client ABC access to ONE Confluence page that has been made specifically for Client ABC and hosts details on their join date, products they have, products they expressed interest in, Success Plan etc, ideally with links to the Wiki. So, if Client ABC has Product#1 and Product#7, it would be ideal if they could click on Product#1 and get to the client-shared Wiki and see the info on Product#1 and how it is to be used.   

Can these things be done?  
Also, would this mean the users need licenses, or would it be free of charge to add view only/view and comment only users?


Answers:
author: Harald Seyr
body: Hi [@Adrienne Angelescu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5233238)

* [Invite guests for external collaboration \| Confluence Cloud \| Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/invite-guests-for-external-collaboration/)

However, I doubt that your requirement can be implemented 100% as you need it, but maybe you can find a solution with the "external collaboration".

comments: author: Rodrigo

Notice that guests are connected to the number of users, so it could might or might not be what you are looking for:

*"Guests are free of charge (up to 5 guests per paid user). **Note:**Total paid and guest users cannot exceed the current Confluence site user limit"*

All the best!

About confluence cloud page drafts
Asked by ??:

I have a question about the confluence cloud page. I understand that page drafts cannot be viewed from other accounts, but what is the reason why other accounts can view drafts? In addition, it is not shared with other accounts. In addition, I switched accounts with a browser on the same PC and logged in to view.


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@??](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4935193)

Drafts are personal to specific users by default. That's correct. The moment they have been shared, it will be visible like any other personal draft to the other users that you have invited - in the page tree and in the "Recent - Drafts" section. Are you certain that the draft page or the invite link was never shared with others?

Best, Max

comments: author: ??

If I press the "Publish" button even once and the page I created is published, will other users be able to see the draft?

author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@??](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4935193)

If you press the "Publish" button, the page will be published and is not considered a draft anymore. A page is only in a draft state before publishing it. After that, it's available to everyone who has access to it based on space permissions and page restrictions.

Best, Max
