Welcome to the Atlassian Community  

Here's the latest support article from Confluence regarding Team Calendar Reminders <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/reminders-1044780420.html>  

There was a similar question to yours, and one recommendation was to make sure there was no outgoing filter preventing your email from being sent. <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Event-Reminder-for-Calendar-not-working/qaq-p/2281390>  

I hope this helps,

what should a confluence page consist of?
Asked by gautamdogra:

what's the best strategy in picking the correct widgets for a teams confluence page? Should it reflect the team board - which is already represented in jira?


Answers:
author: Patricia Modispacher _appanvil_
body: Hi [@gautamdogra](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2564351),

**Mirroring the Jira board on the Confluence page is not necessarily the best approach.** While they can be complementary, they serve different purposes:

* **Jira Board:** Real-time tracking of project tasks, workflow visualization, and assignment management.
* **Confluence Page:** Comprehensive information hub for the team, capturing decisions, strategies, meeting notes, and other non-task-specific details.

To find out which Widgets you might need, you can do the following:

1. **Identify the page's goal:** What information or functionality does the team need access to?
2. **Choose relevant widgets:** Select widgets that support the page's goal.exclamation Confluence offers various widgets like:
   * **Text:** Display essential information like team mission, goals, or contact details.
   * **Macros:** Integrate other applications like Jira, calendars, or surveys.
   * **Embeds:** Include relevant Jira boards or other visual elements.
   * **Recent Changes:** Keep the team informed about recent page updates.exclamation
   * **Social macros:** Encourage collaboration with features like polls, likes, and comments.
3. **Prioritize clarity and focus:** Avoid information overload. Use a few well-chosen widgets to present key information effectively.
4. **Test and iterate:** Monitor how the team utilizes the page and adjust widget selection and layout based on their feedback and needs.

Good luck!


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@gautamdogra](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2564351) That is a great question. It really has to do more with how you are using Confluence with your team. For instance on a project you might have a page that display at risk issues and contains the following:

* Meeting Notes
* Decision Logs
* Documentation
* Help Documents
* Etc.

What are you using Jira for? What will your team be doing in it? Once you answer that I can make some recommendations on how to use Confluence to help your team collaborate and work more efficiently.

How can I use the "Find action Items" command without atlassian AI?
Asked by Zach:

When attempting to use the slash command options, to use the "Find Action Items", when selecting it, I only receive a prompt to upgrade to Atlassian AI and no other options.

Is this feature now exclusively part of the AI Suite?

Steps:

1. Create/Edit an existing Page
2. Type / and then action
3. Choose Find Action Items
4. Observe Results

My only options are learn more and try it free. I had used this feature previously without any AI services.

Why was this ticket closed by Atlassian when it's still an issue?
Asked by Meg Albus:

Atlassian Cloud still inconsistently sets a space homepage and it's annoying. The following ticket was opened but closed with no resolution: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-57078>

It would be nice to be able to reliably set a homepage for each space.

Anyone?


Answers:
author: Dan Breyen
body: Hi Meg, from the comment made in the ticket, it looks like it was closed because it didn't get enough votes. You can see the resolution was marked as 'Timed out' and there is a comment from Sunny Xu explaining what was done. If you can still replicate the behavior, I would suggest contacting [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/?support_type=customer&inquiry_category=#/) for their input.

Hope that helps.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Hi Meg,

Could you explain what is inconsistent? Confluence creates a "home" page at the top level as the first page in a new space, and sets it as the home for that space unless the admin creating the new space chooses otherwise. What else are you seeing it do?

Trying to get a date entered on a Confluence page to copy to several other tables
Asked by Tim Rice:

I have a Confluence page where I want a date (call it Discovery Date) that is entered in one section of the page to fill to several other sections to calculate other benchmark dates (e.g. Discovery Date +30 days, +60 days, etc. I know I have to use Table Transformer macro, and I think Table Excerpt, but I can't get it to work. Thanks!


Answers:

body: Hi [@Tim Rice](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5439008) ,

If you are stuck, you may refer to [our support](https://stiltsoft.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/14). We'll need your page storage format (upper right corner of the page -\> menu ... -\> View Storage Format), so that we'll be able to recreate your exact page with your source table, your macros, and the queries inside them. Then we'll be able to guide you through the case.

Meanwhile, you may look into a very similar case with the Table Transformer macro: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Ho-do-I-calculate-date-plus-days-without-weekends-in-Table/qaq-p/1562965>

And you may also check the documentation regarding the [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-excerpt-and-table-excerpt-include-macros-42241623.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros if you need them to reuse your source table across your Confluence instance.

Is there a way to restore a Confluence page back to its original place in the page tree structure?
Asked by Scott Derderian:

I had a user that inadvertently deleted many pages (with Child Pages - 100s of pages). I am aware that the pages can be restored one by one back to the root of the space.

I am wondering if anyone has a solution for restoring them back to the original tree structure of the space.

TIA!


Answers:
author: Florian Bonniec
body: HI [@Scott Derderian](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1048344)

I do not think it's possible but if you have a test, pre-prod instance you may be able to find them on these instances and be able to find the previous parent. Then you can move them back manually or using Scriptrunner if you have this app.

Regards


author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: [@Scott Derderian](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1048344) You can always [restore the Confluence backup](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/backup-and-restore-163578.html).

If you have backups created every day, then restore the one that is the latest *before* the accident. It should be very easy.

Of course, the price is that you will lose the edits that were made in the meanwhile.

body: Hi [@Scott Derderian](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1048344)

I am part of [Revyz](https://www.revyz.io). I see that you are on an on-premises confluence instance. Unfortunately there is no good solution there.

If you had a Cloud Confluence instance along with our [Confluence Data Manager](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1233056/revyz-data-manager-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app we could get you back the pages along with child pages (how many ever they are) with a couple of clicks.

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

You can reuse your source table with the help of our [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/how-to-use-table-excerpt-and-table-excerpt-include-macros-42241623.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros (on the same page and on any page you need across your Confluence instance) and create different charts based on the same source table via the Chart from Table macro. I mean you'll get a kind of a dashboard when you need to update only one source table.

And if you want to show the same chart across your Confluence pages, you may also take the Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros and reuse not the source table but the Chart from Table macro.

Our app is very flexible and allows you to combine macros differently to achieve precise custom results.

If you are nor familiar with the app, please welcome to a [live demo session](https://calendly.com/tablefilter/live-demo?month=2024-02) with our team.

Difficulty accessing confluence page linked through automation rule
Asked by arantza:

Hi,

When I define an action within a rule using the following JSON code:

My understanding is that this code sets the "Link Confluence" custom field (customfield_10346) of the issue with the URL of the page created automatically by the rule.

However, upon opening the issue, I am unable to locate the expected link within the "Link Confluence" field.

I would be grateful if you could offer guidance or troubleshooting suggestions to help me resolve this issue.

Seems that linking Confluence pages isn't available out of the box.

As per <https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/advanced-field-editing-using-json/#Why-is-my-field-not-editable>, "Link Confluence" should be available in the createmeta API call's output to be editable. It wasn't available at my end, thus, assuming it cannot be added directly using the Edit Issue Actions.

Found this article that describes a workaround for it <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Cloud-Admins-articles/Automating-the-creation-of-a-Confluence-page-linked-to-a-Jira/ba-p/1654271>

Is there any way to hide the app permissions from the individual user permission tab?

How can I fix it? We use this macro a lot in our organization.

Answers:
author: Andrii Maliuta
body: Hello [@Sara von Hofsten](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4193140) ,

I can see that HtmlUtil should be available in velocity context according to the docs: <https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-objects-accessible-from-velocity>, but really, it is not.

As an option, if HTML is rendered with a variable assignment, the variable name needs to end with "Html". This will render HTML instead of escaping it.

**Example:** `$outputHtml `instead of `$output`

So you can try to create the variable with the title ending with 'html' to be escaped, like:

```
#set($titleHtml = $content.displayTitle )
$content.displayTitle       ## as is
<br>
$titleHtml                  ## escaped
<br>
```

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/user-macro-template-syntax-223906130.html>

comments: author: Sara von Hofsten
body: adding HtmlUtil to string in setenv.sh fixed the html problem.

The macro output looks correct but there's some problem with the lik to parent page. I get page not found or insufficient permission error, but i guess it's a macro problem and not a server problem :)

As has been stated, Sandbox is only available on Premium plans.

As a workaround, you can create another Confluence site within your Atlassian org - or create a new org - and test the app there.

Free Confluence has some limitations (due to the lack of permission settings) but a Standard Confluence with just a few seats needed for testing might do the trick.

It might be worth paying for an extra small standard site if you don't need the premium features.

How to use Variables for Scroll PDF Exporter app frontpage
Asked by Horst Hossy:

I would like to define a variable on a confluence page (e.g. page_author) which I would like to use in the Scroll PDF Exporter app to define the author name on the frontpage.

Any ideas how I can do this? I tried page properties, but this did not work.


Answers:
author: Jens Rutschmann [K15t]
body: Hi [@Horst Hossy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5438500)

using page properties and the corresponding placeholder in the template should work as long as you've set the property on the root page of the export (in case you're exporting a page tree).

Did you arrange the property table properly wrt. rows vs. columns?

Here's a working demo:

1. Insert the Page Property placeholder to your template's title page:  
   ![Screenshot 2024-02-26 at 15.47.31.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/308670i959A99B5235F2FAF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-02-26 at 15.47.31.png")
2. In the Confluence page editor add a page property macro and table:  
   ![Screenshot 2024-02-26 at 15.49.38.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/308671i8CC3B3B3DA3557C5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-02-26 at 15.49.38.png")
3. Exporting the page with this template should then create a title page like this:  
   ![Screenshot 2024-02-26 at 15.53.30.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/308672i323A9F087FEABFE3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-02-26 at 15.53.30.png")
