Are there resources/addons to ask guided questions for the purpose of generating impact statements?
Asked by jeff_d_camacho:

Hello everyone!

I've got a problem with collecting weekly reports in an impact statement format from my teams. In order to do that, I would like to create a form that asks guided questions to hit every point of the weekly report (Accomplishments, Issues, Awareness).

In a perfect world, the form/question flow would work like this (Accomplishment used for example):

* Accomplishment 1:
  * What is the accomplishment? -\> What does the accomplishment impact? -\> Who was involved with this accomplishment? -\> On form submission, answers are concatenated together to form a rough impact statement with all topics covered.

The first question would be on a "slide" and would not progress until answered. When answered, the question would progress to the next "slide", so on and so forth.

What I've done so far:

* Rev 1: Create a site for team leads to edit and drop in the requested info. Inputs are reviewed and edited for clarity and content.
* Rev 2: Created a form for them to fill out and the form is read by a form report. Inputs are reviewed and edited for clarity and content.

The problem with this is that since there are no leading questions, inputs are open to interpretation. We've tried training, one on ones, and self edits, but we'd like this to be more automated.

We end up going through these guided questions and have gotten much better results when asking these leading questions.

**So my ask is this,**are there any resources or addons that allow for "slide progression" or a Google Forms Quiz style setup/addon I could use to ask these guiding questions, one at a time?

Thank you for any and all help!

You can check out **[izi for Confluence - LMS](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214110/izi-for-confluence-lms-training-courses-quizzes?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=quizzes-traffic-sources&utm_content=Are+there+resources+addons+to+ask+guided+questions+for+the+purpose+of+generating+impact+statements)** (formerly known as Courses and Quizzes LMS) app. However, it doesn't support Free plans in Cloud at the moment. The app requires the capability to restrict pages, which is not available in Free Plan.

Kind regards,

I should have mentioned that this actually would be in a paid Confluence environment.

How create links automatically from Jira to referencing page in Confluence?
Asked by Mikael Skogstrom:

Confluence lets you display a list of stories in Jira, by running a macro that makes a JCL query and asks for the stories in a specific epic. That way you may create links, from Confluence to the associated Jira stories.

I would like to do the opposite: Let Jira generate a link to the referencing page in Confluence, for each referenced issue, when Confluence has run the macro. In other words, I want the references to work both ways.

Is that possible, or is Confluence just a "reporting tool" to Jira?


Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi Mikael,

Looks like this feature is available in confluence, but not in server: <https://www.atlassian.com/blog/confluence/link-jira-issues-to-confluence-pages-automatically>

I suggest you create a new feature request for this one, if it doesn't exist already.

Page properties macro and performance of Confluence
Asked by Amalia Dobiasova:

We have an performance issue with page properties reports. Would it help to have instead of 1 big table with many lines (including JIRA issue Filter in 1 line) to have several smaller page properties tables where we will split lines from 1 table.

We are working with many labels approximatelly up to 500 pages located in the same space.

Example of page properties table attached.![PagePropertiesTable.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/112792iC542FE1F2297F9FF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "PagePropertiesTable.png")

Help would be much appreciated...


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Rob Eastment](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3693283) !  
I remember that your issue came around in another post where I said that you could raise a ticket with our support so the instance could be reindexed:
> * ++***[Hi Breadcrumbs displays 'Error loading breadcrumbs' in public view.](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Hi-Breadcrumbs-displays-Error-loading-breadcrumbs-in-public-view/qaq-p/1459258 "Hi Breadcrumbs displays 'Error loading breadcrumbs' in public view.")***++

Since this issue usually means the instance needs to be reindexed, we need to contact support.

Reading the previous thread, I just saw that you raised the problem that the support link I sent redirected you to our community again. I apologize for not replying to that earlier and thank you for raising this again.

Before I move forward and raise a ticket for you so the issue can be dealt with by our support team, I would like to know if you still need the ticket (you are still being redirected here) or if you came here for another reason.

If you still need the ticket, just let me know and I can raise it on your behalf since this issue can not be fixed via Community.

Looking forward to your reply.

Linking to an image on a confluence page
Asked by Andrej Gabara:

I'd like to use an IMG tag inside a javadoc to link to an image embedded in a confluence page. If I use "image link" on the browser, I get a "blob:..." URL, which I can't use outside of this page.   

So, how do I access an image embedded in a page outside of Confluence?

<br />

Thanks (using Confluence Cloud)


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Andrej, welcome to the Community!

Here's how to get a standard image URL you're looking for in Confluence Cloud:

1. On the page where the image is attached, click the '...' menu in the top-right and select Attachments  
   ![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/112996iEC982FFC39B90FE8/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")
2. For the photo you want to link to, right-click it and copy the address from the Attachments page  
   ![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/113000i1413B56BB47CEBF3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")  

   <br />

Note that if the page it's attached to isn't anonymous, the image will require authorization when trying to view it. If you're logged in to Confluence and try to view the page, it will work fine. But people who aren't logged in to your Confluence site (or don't have access to the page) will see a broken image instead of the embed.

Cheers,  
Daniel

I am not able to paste images from Snagit into Confluence

I am trying to paste images from Snagit into confluence and they don't work.

I read that Confluence does not allow you to paste images with transparent pixels, but that is not the case here - I even created a small image, filled it with red, and even that could not paste. I asked on Snagit support and of course they said it is a Confluence issue.

Show a specific group, if a page has been edited
Asked by David Fehrenbach:

Dear all,

is it possible to show a group of users, for example the QM-Team, if a page has been edited but not published yet?

To be more specific:

- users should only see the published version

- QM-Team should see, if there have been unpublished changes

the best would be to have a hint in the version history

Thank you very much

Content variables on pages
Asked by Kim Wallace:

I am creating a page that is included on other pages. In the included page I want to insert a variable that captures the title of the "host" page in some body copy.

I am open to other ways of getting the info - variables were just the first thing that came to mind.


Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@Kim Wallace](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3998929)

So if I understand correctly, you want the title of Page A to appear within the text on Page B, which is included on Page A. Am I getting that right?

If so, I can't say I know how to include the title of a page as a variable. You could link to a specific page, which will pull in the page title dynamically, but it will be a hyperlink and not text. It also won't be dynamic, changing value depending on the page in which it's included.

As far as I'm aware, there's no way to change content based on the page in which it's included.

Data Dictionary with two-way updating
Asked by Corbin SUPAK:

I want to have a document that my team can use to edit definitions of fields we are using in our BI platform. I'd like for the document to update automatically when fields are added or removed at the BI source, and I'd want the definition content that gets updated in Confluence to update to the BI source. The BI platform is Thoughtspot, and I currently can update metadata manually via a YAML file that it exports/imports. Appreciate any suggestions, thanks.


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Corbin, welcome to the Community!

You're going to want to look at incorporating some Marketplace apps for this. There are a couple things to investigate:

1. [External data apps](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=data) - these can pull info from an external data source, some can do it via REST API. There's a lot of options here, but it's unusual to find a matching app for your need here than enables a two-way sync.
2. [Glossary apps](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=glossary) - as of the time of this post, there are only two. But they display terms pretty well, and both support imports (CSV and Excel). One also supports export functionality. It's possible you could script out some middleware (IFTTT or Zapier potentially) to occasionally "sync" the data with Thoughtspot if you can convert the YAML to a format that one of the apps like.

I don't think there's a solution currently that meets 100% of your use-case, but you can get pretty close with a little coaxing.

Cheers,  
Daniel
