Why doesn't the Content Report Table macro display results?
Asked by Bev Schalk:

I added a Content Report Table and selected a label. However no results display in the preview or after I publish it. I also used the same label in a Content by Label list, and the results display as expected in that.

I've referred to the Documentation and followed those steps, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?

For me, what ended up working was using the "Space Key" and not the "Space Name".

And verify the label is created on the right page you want to reference (I had missed that initially being new to this world).

body: I am having the same issue. My organization uses Confluence, and when I want to present meeting minutes using the Content Report Table Macro and use the tag i've assigned, nothing appears. I've even tried adding the space key with no success.  

When i try to build out other pages using the same feature above, content will appear from all other users in the organization who are not on my team, so the content is irrelevant to me.

Any suggestions?

body: Hi Bev,

Welcome to Atlassian Community, and I'm so sorry that the Content Report Table doesn't seem to be working for you.

Is there a specific label that's not working in this case, or does it happen with any label? I assume this is in the new editor, is that right? Does this occur for any other macros that require labels to work?

Would you be able to show me the parameters you have filled in for the macro?

Lastly, do you know if the other users on the site, including admins, are having the same issue?

Take care,

Shannon

body: Hi Shannon, In the Content Report Table macro, I have tried several different labels without success. I also have tried it with and without entering a Space(s) parameter.

The labels I'm using seem to work correctly in the Content by Label macro.

body: Hi Bev,

Thank you for sharing your example with me. I think the issue here is this difference between the macros.

* [Insert the content report table macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-content-report-table-macro/)

> The Content Report Table macro displays a set of pages and blog posts as a table, based on the labels specified in the macro parameters.

* [Insert the content by label macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-content-by-label-macro/)

> The Content by Label macro is used to display lists of pages, blog posts or attachments that have particular labels.

Going by the documentation, I don't believe that you can use the Content Report Table macro to display attachments, as in your example.

Would you be able to confirm if the macro is also not working to display examples of pages and blog posts, or are you only able to replicate this with labelled attachments?

Thank you,

Shannon

body: I have the same issue. Most times, Content Report Table pulls in the labelled pages, but sometimes, it doesn't. I've tried registering space names and space keys. In some cases, certain pages are retrieved successfully while others within the same space and with the same label are not. This macro appears to be a bit "hit and miss". Could you please investigate and advise the method via which the macro will work 100% of the time.
