Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Based on the URL for your site you are using a self-hosted Confluence instance.

As we are a community of users of our own Confluence instances, we don't have any visibility into the administrators for your instance. You will need to contact somebody within your own company that administers the Confluence instance.

I recommend you start by contacting the person who told you that you should access that page. They should be able to find out who to contact to ensure you get the access you need.

body: Hi mona,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community !!

Can you please add the screenshot, What its showing ..?

you can contact with Confluence Admin to give the Space Permission.

Accept the answer if it helps

we need RFC connection to Confluence and need user id password for the same
Asked by Ameya:

We as a SAP system are connecting to Confluence for fetching data through RFC feed and need a system USer ID and password to connect to the same


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What do you mean by "RFC feed"?

In general though, there are two ways to "connect" to a Confluence system. The obvious one is "use a browser", which gives you the full UI, and the other is intended for other computers, and is the REST API. The REST API includes RSS feeds too, if that's what you meant by RFC.

But all of these require you to authenticate with an account that has at least read access to Confluence.

comments: author: Ameya
body: RFC means SAP connects to Confluence as a Remote System using authentication. We are also exploring the API token approach.

Will it be a stable long term solution if we choose a "no expiry" token ?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: So you'll want to use the REST API then.

No, you won't have problems with a long term "no expiry" token, you can, and probably should, use one of them!


author: Ameya
body: Ok, will give the API's a try and update back, Thanks for the help

Creating Confluence page times out and can't report bug as on evaluation
Asked by James Elvin:

How can I evaluate Confluence Cloud if creating a page times out and I cannot log a ticket? Wasting lots of time and getting nowhere. Not good ...


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@James Elvin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5232840) welcome to the Atlassian Community! Sorry that you have crash landed here.

There has been a sporadic outage on Confluence Cloud today related to the editing and publishing experience. You can subscribe to updates on Confluence's Statuspage.

<https://confluence.status.atlassian.com/>

Although it shows the issue as Resolved, there have been residual issues throughout the day on some instances, my own included.

comments: author: James Elvin
body: hi, thanks Andy. I've had this since last week so not sure if it's the same underlying root cause. Not keen on posting contact details on here but not sure how I can get in touch with support? Happy to screenshare etc with support but just not sure how to engage (and it's deliberately tough for trial customers). Cheers


author: Andy Gladstone
body: That's unfortunate. Have you tried spinning up a different free instance to see if you are experiencing the same behavior? That would be my next step in troubleshooting actual instance corruption vs. connection issues.

Change the columns in an Attachment Macro
Asked by Aditya Rajaraman:

I am adding an attachment macro to a confluence page, which I am planning to open up to provide release notes to clients. The attachment macro works great except for the fact that it shows the person who uploaded the attachment

Is there a way to

1. Remove the table column headers?
2. Remove the modified date and user?

There may be a Marketplace App that can solve the issue for you, but I am not familiar enough with any that will do what you are looking for.

comments: author: Aditya Rajaraman
body: Thanks [@Andy Gladstone](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3498028)

It is not the end of the world. I can check if there is a way that I can add a normal table and have the attachments as inline items maybe?


author: Andy Gladstone
body: I do that all of the time. Create a table, link the attachments in the column. It's manual, but does create a nice presentation.

Website View
Asked by Markus Dobberstein:

Hi together, I will try to explain the issue without Screenshot because of Companies Data.

By my own mistake the Browser Webpage View ,,Zoom,,is not at 100% but at 67%.

I have created many Confluence Pages /Subpages with Content /Boxes/ Tables etc trough our Companies Confluence ( not the Cloud).

Today my Teamlead show me the Confluence Page and it looks very ugly from the regular 100% Zoom Website View from the Laptop.

I know that's probably my own mistake but is there any hint or trick with the Source Code or that I could use via Edit Mode something to modify the Layout of my Confluence Page that it looks the same on 100% Zoom mode as with 67% ?? Or do I need to define redesign everything new

Of course I change my regular Webpage Zoom to 100% already.

Best regards

Markus


Answers:
author: Hamza _ Welpix
body: I can suggest a few possible solutions for you:

1. First, make sure your browser's zoom level is set to 100%. You mentioned that you have already done this, which is great.
2. Go to the Confluence page that looks distorted and enter the Edit mode. Look for any elements that are misaligned or not displaying properly. You can try adjusting their positions, sizes, or formatting to make them look better at 100% zoom. This may involve manually tweaking the content and layout until it appears satisfactory.
3. If your Confluence instance provides predefined page templates, consider using them to create new pages or modify existing ones. These templates are designed to ensure consistent layouts and formatting across different zoom levels.
4. For product photography you can use different [services](https://welpix.com/cosmetic-photography/)

Looking to Add Clickable Widgets to Home Page
Asked by Steve Brown:

I would like a horizontal row of simple box style widgets added to a home page. Clicking on one of the widgets will direct viewers to another page where more information and clickable links will live. More pages, more links, more information etc etc on and on.

Example of the home page having 4 widgets. Each one of these would redirect the viewer to another page where the corresponding information would be, link to an Excel file or link to a URL

Link a page as shortcut in a child page place
Asked by Kasra Ayz:

Hello everyone

I'm looking for a way to personalize my pages structure

So looking for way to pin some pages from other people in other spaces (or in same space) as child page in my page

As and example: looking at **space A** pages tree on left panel:

**Space A Space B**

Page 1 Page a

Page 1.1 Page a1

Page 1.2 Page b

**P** ++**age b1 (pinned from out)**++ Page b1

Page 2

page 2.1

**++Page 1.1 (Pinned from out)++**

Is there anyway to achieve such result

Please Note that there is a shortcut functionality in space, but it is only one and for all users in the space,

There also is a "Starred" page , but again that is not organizable for me  
What I need is to make personal shortcuts and multiple places and organize them

The only way i can do that now is to create a page and put links in it

Thank you


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: Hi [@Kasra Ayz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4949141) ,

If you don't want to link to the page, since that would take people to the other space, you could try using an Include Page macro. I'm not sure if it can be done, but maybe you could wrap the Include Page within an Expand macro, so the reader would only see the content when they choose to expand the content.

comments: author: Kasra Ayz
body: Thank you for the suggestion

I'm looking for a way to organize page titles for references

exact same as shortcuts or favorites but categorized and easy to access


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: Hi [@Kasra Ayz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4949141) ,

My understanding is that it is not possible to pin pages from another space as a subpage.

comments: author: Kasra Ayz
body: Thank you for the answer

So my only options are to create a page and list the links

Or add to favorite without organizing

What does it mean when a checkbox has a filled-in square instead of a checkmark?
Asked by Marks, Debra:

When I click on a client property at times the checkbox has a filled in square. The second time I click on it, it becomes a checkmark.

Lango in Confluence

Is there a way to extract a report containing all the Spaces created in Confluence, as well as infor
Asked by Julio Cesar Pontes Camargo:

The problem I'm facing is the need to extract a report containing information about all the Spaces created in Confluence, including the details of the owner of each space. I'm looking for a solution to obtain this report.


Answers:
author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Hi [@Julio Cesar Pontes Camargo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5232522),

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

There isn't a report out-of-the-box in Confluence that would get you the information you are looking for, but you could extract it by using the REST API and the [Get spaces](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-space/#api-spaces-get) endpoint. And there might be apps in the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) that can do this as well.


author: Rodrigo
body: Hola [@Julio Cesar Pontes Camargo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5232522),

And welcome to the Atlassian Community!

It seems you are also interested in the metrics within spaces. If this information is also relevant to your reports, we could suggest our app: [Viewtracker](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/28637/viewtracker-analytics-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud).

* [Viewtracker - Global Report](https://bitvoodoo-apps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VTCLOUD/pages/10698476086/Global+Report)
* [Viewtracker - C\&UR: Spaces](https://bitvoodoo-apps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VTCLOUD/pages/12033556523/Content+Usage+Report+Spaces)

Which, while it enables you to track and analyze the usage of your confluence instance, it does not quite share the name of who created the spaces.

Hope this can help.

With friendly regards  
Rodrigo

JIRA Issue/Filter macro for Confluence - columns re-ordering
Asked by Troy:

Hi, hope everyone doing well.

For the JIRA Issue/Filter macro in Confluence, I currently don't see an option to reposition the columns to display by drag-n-drop so if I want a specific ordering for my columns in the table I have to remove and add them all over again. Is it by design? If yes, then it is not so efficient I would say. Is there a way I can put it as a feature request?

Trouble Connecting When Editing Pages
Asked by Wes Farnsworth:

I've got several users reporting issues with editing pages. They are getting a pop up in the bottom left corner saying, "we're having trouble connecting right now." I thought it might be an internet issue on their end, however, all their other programs including zoom work fine. They also are reporting sluggish pages that can take 1-2 min to load.

Does anyone have any ideas on what might be the issue and how to fix it?


Answers:
author: Dan Breyen
body: Hi Wes, I've been editing pages on my Cloud Confluence site today and haven't had issues. You could check the networking basics, (try different browser, different machine, different location, etc). After you've checked that out, if it's still an issue, you could open a ticket with support.atlassian.com so Atlassian could look at your actual cloud site and make sure everything is working as expected.

Default Search in Confluence
Asked by Otto Schulz:

Hi,

I am using Confluence rather as a private space and hence do not need to search the whole content with each search. So what I usually do when I hit a search term is to restrict to my personal space. But this restriction has to be done each time again.

Is there a way to create a default filter which restricts to my preferred selection criterias (such as space, owner ...), or do you plan to implement such a filter in future?

Thanks \& Regards

Otto
