Creating a 'next review' date to turn into a RAG status
Asked by Stacey Ropiha:

Hi there, I have created a page in Confluence, added a 'Page Properties Report macro' and inserted a ***/date*** option to create a future date for review.

![ReviewDate.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/199917iC456D89B3A81E4AB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "ReviewDate.PNG")

This table is then reported onto a parent 'report' page that lists all my pages with their dates, owners, titles, status, last review etc.

I wish for the 'new review' date to flag up red if the date passes. This would allow me to see on the parent report page, quickly, at a glance the passed dates where no review took place. Is this possible?

Please note: I already have a 'status' row but this is manual input, so I do not think this is the answer.

![Status.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/199918i0BF7E468D3E025C5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Status.PNG")

I am not a programmer so would not understand any code. If my idea is not possible, would Jira have to be the option? (which I do use, therefore, would be able to add this in, but am hoping Confluence has an alternative simple answer too).

Thank you

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

You'll be able to wrap your Page Properties Report into our [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Toolbox+macro?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro and create a sequence Page Properties Report \<- Table Transformer \<- Table Filter.

With the help of the Table Transformer macro you'll be able to [set statuses using conditions](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Custom+Transformation+-+use+cases+with+advanced+SQL+queries#CustomTransformationusecaseswithadvancedSQLqueries-ComparingtwodatesusingIf/Thenconstruct?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) (compare your dates with "today", for example).

And with the help of the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro you'll be able to filter your new statuses and show dates that overpassed "today" or are due soon.

Maybe this also can help.

As a workaround without coding: you could enter a task with add a date, like this:

![Untitled.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/199923i0B48B9786D481982/image-dimensions/144x47?v=v2 "Untitled.jpg")

If the date is in the past, if will be displayed in red.

Hope that helps,  
-Stefan

While we're at it: If you are getting into Page Properties, make sure you also have a look at our app *Orderly Databases* , which is Page Properties on steroids: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/Announcing-Orderly-Replace-Confluence-Page-Properties-with/ba-p/1915196>

...or watch the new video: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rTJUkPhmWc>

That said, it does have date fields, but doesn't support your use case yet. (But will do so soon, and will also be able to send notification emails)
