How to make changes in issues, without notifying others about each action?
Asked by seetaiah bachhu:

- I have requirement in Confluence and i mapped it in the form of tickets in JIRA. Due to some reason i changed requirement in confluence, i want to get notified for associated JIRA tickets by some means so that look back the JIRA tickets and take appropriate actions corresponding tickets.


Answers:

body: Seetaiah,

Are you asking how to be notified on issues you create in Jira? When you're the reporter, you will be notified of any changes to a ticket, except your own changes. If you wish to be also notified of your own changes, then you need to make sure that setting is selected:

* [Configuring the user default settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/configuring-the-user-default-settings-938847012.html)

> Setting: Notify users of their own changes
>
> Option: Choose between making JIRA send you email notifications about issue updates made by either both you and other people (Notify me) or other people only (i.e. Do not notify me).

If I have misunderstood your query please elaborate a bit more on what it is exactly you need to do. Please feel free to send screenshots.

Your title also mentions that you want to not notify other users, but it's the same title from an older question, so I think it might have been applied in error. Can you confirm if you were looking to do that as well?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: seetaiah bachhu
body: My question is simple...i will try to elaborate

I have a requirement in confluence and that is mapped to Jira and that is implemented.

Now due to some reasons I have to change requirement in confluence, I suppose to change my code as well to meet change requirement.

No way to know or notification by user for changes made at confluence requirement eventhough it is tied jira ticket.

Overall there is not much tight coupling between confluence and jira in terms of notification means that if I change in confluence it should reflect in Jira.


author: Shannon S
body: Seetaiah,

From what you're saying, I think you mean this:

* Since the Confluence page is linked to a Jira issue, you expect that if the Confluence page is updated, the change gets pushed to the Jira issue.
* Thus, anyone following the Jira issue would be notified of the change in Confluence.

Is this correct?

If so, please be advised that the link between the Confluence page and Jira issue is only visual. Once you update a Confluence page, it does not update the Jira issue.

The watcher of the Jira issue would also need to have a Confluence license and be a watcher of the associated Confluence page. They would then receive notifications via Confluence of the change on the page.

Regards,

Shannon

Is it possible to create dynamic reports based on custom fields?
Asked by Barret_Wallace:

I want to create a catalog with lots of products. All product pages should have the same structure and fields like vendor or price. Based on that, I'd like to create reports such as ?list all products of vendor A as well as the contact person from the respective vendor's page. Also sum up all prices of all their products.' In other words: Can confluence treat pages as ,objects' and work with their properties?


Answers:

body: Hi Barret,

Maybe Metadata for Confluence could be a solution. You can find it on the marketplace. But sum all prices is not possible.

Please, look at [Page Properties Report](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html) macro, it should aggregate all products from different pages in one table. To sum up all prices you can use [Table Filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/cloud/overview) macro [Total Row](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/Managing+Look+of+the+Table+and+Filtration+Pane#ManagingLookoftheTableandFiltrationPane-OutputtingTotalsforcolumns) option or [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Pivot+table+macro) macro

Confluence - permissions
Asked by Yuriy:

Hi, community!

Can I give permission to view the certain page in space to a person without giving access to all space?

Thanks in adwance


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Yuriy,

This is possible, but it requires a lot of steps.

1. First, the user will need to have a Confluence license.
2. Second, you will want to make sure to grant them access to the one space only which contains the page. You can have a look here for information on how to do that: [How to grant access to one space only to a user in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-grant-access-to-one-space-only-to-a-user-in-confluence-815244321.html). Those instructions are for Cloud but if you're on Server it will only be slightly different. You can read the exception note at the bottom for those details.
3. Once you have provided access to the space, you will then need to edit each page individually that you do not want them to have access to, and restrict them using [Page Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html).

It is a lot of work but you can get the end result you require.

Let us know if you have any trouble!

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Yuriy
body: Thanks, Shannon! I know this way, it\`s possible but needs to edit restrictions of all pages in space, even in newly created. It\`s not an optimal way.


author: Leo Diaz DEISER
body: Hi [@Yuriy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1214173)

By default isn't possible but [this app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.keinoby.confluence.plugins.share-attachments/server/overview) allows to share pages. It is very similar to the public links of dropbox!

Multiple excerpts on the same page
Asked by Suman Nandi:

I have the same issue as the one described in the link below dated 2015.

"I am trying to create a global report with a lot of dynamic information from multiple people. The problem I am running into is that I need to pull portions of pages from multiple confluence pages. I know I can pull in a specific page, and I know I can pull in an except. The problem is that I need to define and pull in portions of pages from all over the place (meaning pages all throughout confluence). Anyone know how I can do this?"  

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Multiple-excerpts-on-the-same-page/qaq-p/20480>

Is there a free solution to this please? I am unable to use the options pof Metadata Plugin or multiple excerpts. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I think you have misunderstood the problem on the question you have linked to, although I would say that the original question is very unclear.

In that question, Joe was trying to get many bits of one page drawn into another. To do that, you need the multi-excerpt macro add-on.

The part of the question you quote however is "The problem is that I need to define and pull in portions of pages from all over the place (meaning pages all throughout confluence)."

To do that, place the excerpt macro around the piece on each page you want to pull from, and then excerpt-include on the page you want them to appear on.

comments: author: Suman Nandi
body: Hi Nic, thanks a lot for your response. Much appreciated. :)

Perhaps you are right so I will try and explain my issue and seek your assistance.

What I am trying to do is pull similar info from tables in multiple pages and show it on one page as a monthly status. The info I am trying to pull is available on these pages n the same table structure. I am preparing a consolidated view of three columns from these tables. I tried to use the 'Page properties" macro and it pulled only the rows /columns.

E.g.: Excuse the noivice method below.

Page 1 has a table :

Feature Date Release Team .....

Row 1

Row 2

Row3

Page 2 , Page 3, Page 4 has the same headers but the number of rows may differ.

Now I am trying to pull info from Page 1,2,3,4,5..... into a Master Page which will do the following:

1. Pull specified Column from the pages 1,2,3,4 etc - provide a snapshot

2. Update as and when a new child page is added and update the table on the Master page

I tried using the excerpt but then 1 excerpt can pull info from only 1 excerpt container table and pulling all columns. If I use multiple excerpts on the Master, it works but I have two challenges -

1. pulling selective colums

2. how do I built in the excerpt container for future pages without manually doing this everytime a bnew page is added

Thanks in advance for your inputs,

Cheers,

Suman


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Including columns needs add-ons, as the excerpt only works on blocks of content (i.e. the whole table!).

For future pages, I'd build a page template that has the excerpt setup you need and some instructional text for the users using it.
Can I filter data table from different pages?

Maybe our Easy Dropdown Menu could make the life of your users even more easy. Change values in the parent page, add Filters, making sure there are no typos, multi dropdowns, etc.

You find the Easy Dropdown Menu in the Marketplace.

Most likely you are looking for [Table Filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/cloud/overview) macro.

My question is if i can add filters on the parent table to get data from the child page? Ex: add a filter for location on the parent table and all the child pages with that specific location will appear


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: I suppose [Page Properties Report](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html) should do the trick:

If I were a Confluence Product Manager...
Asked by Iain Lowe:

Here's a thought experiment: As a product manager using Confluence and JIRA, I often ask myself what I would do to improve the product(s) if I were an Atlassian PM.

For example, If I had control over the Atlassian roadmap for Confluence, I would seriously look at the cross-product tooling and make it better.

Here would be my top priority to make a customer like me happy:

As a user, I want a way to configure a relationship between a JIRA project and a confluence space that allows for custom displays of JIRA ticket creation forms from within confluence so that I can save time and effort when creating tasks and tickets while I'm documenting in confluence.

This includes: setting a default project for a space, easily displaying JIRA creation forms based on the project and a screen scheme, and having a 1-click template for a project summary based on the relationship between the space and JIRA.

What would your top Confluence feature request be?


Answers:
author: Meg Holbrook
body: Welcome Iain!

Since I primarily oversee the day to day functions of Service Desk, that deeper integration between Confluence and JSD sounds like a wonderful idea!

I was just talking with a coworker today about how excited we are that Atlassian is going to be making more moves to integrate Stride with their other products (and how far Trello has come/will be going).

If memory serves me, you can associate a project to a space already. Space settings \> Integration. The only bit that seems to be missing is the form situation. I wonder if there are some add ons that would incorporate that functionality? ?\\_(?)_/?

I would definitely love to see some additional enhancements around issue display in Confluence pages. The JIRA macro in confluence could be so much fancier.
Converting to Production
Asked by Mike Spitalere:

First time installing Confluence went well. I set up the trial and everything working the way we wanted.

During the conversion to production, my session timed out on me just before I went to select the backup XML file to restore.

Now when I connect to the service, I am greeted with "Set up error" and I am unable to do anything else.

Do I need to start over or is there a way to recover.

I am running Confluence v 6.7.0 on a CentOS 7 virtual machine.

You might then be able to recover the data from your trial instance.

Did you have a lot of data or specific configuration that you wanted to keep from the trial ? Otherwise you might be better off starting from scratch with you production database.
