How to filter tables based on the text dynamically?
Asked by Jyoti Lahoti:

I want to create a table in which one column is a link and I want to filter another table if I click on that link using the text of that link.

Thanks in advance

body: Hi [@Jyoti Lahoti](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4490396) ,

Maybe our app will be helpful - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

You'll be able to [filter your tables](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) on the fly or set a predefined filtering panels for your colleagues.

The source table:

![Mon 2-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/152895iAD69A2040E09A296/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 2-1.png")

Filtering on the fly:

![Mon 2-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/152898iCFA0DB3C76605AD8/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 2-2.png")

Filtering using the panel:

And you may reuse your source table with the help of the [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) macros and created several filter views based on the same data.

comments: author: Jyoti Lahoti
body: Thank you for your response.

Actually we have requirement where we have to redirect from one table to other.

Example: I have list of applications and each application has multiple artifacts. So if I click on one application then I should be able to redirect to the artifact associated with that application. As I have 100's of application It is not possible to create one page for the artifacts associated with that application. It would be like creating 100 pages

Instead of table is there anything else I can use like list or anything.

I am not sure what to use.


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: You know, the first thought is indeed to create a separate page for every application (its name should match the application name).

Then you'll be able to keep your artifacts in a table on the corresponding page. Each table should be wrapped into the Table Excerpt macro (the macro works similar to the Page Properties macro but collects multiple-row tables as well).

On the parent page you collect your artifacts into one big table and show the page title that is equal to your application name. The title is shown as a link, so you'll be able to filter the required data, find the corresponding link, click on it and go to the page with your artifacts and other useful information.

Our customers use smth like this while handling, for example, product requirements and revisions.

I'll get back here if something better comes to my mind.

Macros
Asked by anastasija.verbicka:

**I am quite new to Confluence. We've just started integrating Confluence as our intranet.**

We have been playing with macros for a while. I'd like to ask a couple of questions.

We've created a page to submit new product request via macros. We use the basic 'create from template' macro.

The list of submitted requests appear on the macro page. However, these request have an automated label + date. Is there a chance to update the submitted request by time as well? Otherwise, multiple submitted requests on the same day come as 31-07(1), 31-07(2) etc. I cannot find the time in the suggested labels.

Also, is there a way to group these requests on the macro page in a table format?


Answers:
author: James Dellow
body: There probably isn't a way to overcome the date issue, if you are using the out of the box macro and built-in templates. However, which template are you using specifically?

To group the requests, have a look at the Page Properties and Page Properties Report macros <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-report-macro/>

Not able to open a page even when I have permission and other team members can access it
Asked by Vishal Sherathiya:

I have been trying to access [this URL](https://team-1581721434939.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BE2/pages/1383563422/Accounts) from last 3 - 4 days but am not able to access the page. I get this screen everytime: ![image_2021_07_26T07_06_44_620Z.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/152827i49ED805E25CFF06C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image_2021_07_26T07_06_44_620Z.png")

I am sure that I have correct access rights to visit this page and this page works for all other team members except me. I have also tried to use VPN, but no luck there as well.

When I tried to open a support request, I get URL is not valid. Here is the screenshot of the same: ![image_2021_07_26T07_06_50_087Z.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/152828iB17672AC881AE73A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image_2021_07_26T07_06_50_087Z.png")


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You need to give it the url of the site you are raising the request for, not the url of the error. At this point in the support request, Atlassian are asking for the system, not any details of the request.

Drop everything after the .atlassian.net and try again.

comments: author: Vishal Sherathiya
body: Nope, it does not resolve the issue. It throws another error: **This doesn't look like an Atlassian Cloud URL you're typing.**

I am a developer by profession, so I have very good knowledge of URLs and I have tried all different patterns but still get errors about the URL field when raising a support request.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Right, so if I put in the url you've given, it fails.

When I put in a non-Atlassian cloud url, I get "this doesn't look like an atlassian Cloud url you're typing".

When I cut it back to the base url (i.e. chop off everything after /atlassian.net as I said before), I get "We can't find this url" - this is because my Atlassian account does not have access to it, not because it does not exist

Please check what you are putting into the field, put in the proper url for the base of your system. If you get "we can't find this url", you'll need to go ask one of your administrators to raise this for you.

body: Sorry to disturb you! Infact my account was never enabled by my administrator.

How to auto-generate a custom label in a custom template, similar to Meeting notes?
Asked by Albert Lee:

By adding Meeting notes, there is a default label "meeting-notes". How can I change the default?

Similarly, how can I insert a default label in the customized template?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Albert Lee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4490035) Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You would need to create your own template for meeting notes and add the labels to that template. You can then add a create from template macro to a page and select your template. BluePrint Templates do not allow you to add labels. <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-template-296093779.html#CreateaTemplate-Labels>

How do I change the whole instance to be private ? Only let users with a login access.


Answers:

body: Hi [@Kate McKenna](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4424554) ,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Please, navigate to the Confluence Administration -\> Global permissions -\> Anonymous access

Here you should be able to set, if anonymous users can use your Confluence or view user profiles. So, please disable the both options.

comments: author: Kate McKenna

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Each space has a permission for "anonymous" access - if you remove that, the space will need people to log in to see it.

This is also a global setting - go to Admin -\> global permissions and look for the anonymous access tab. Turn it off. (It will remove the anonymous options from the spaces too, the global flag needs to be enabled for the spaces to use it)

Strike through on date
Asked by Sedat D.:

I have a project status report on Confluence and there is a field like planned end date (custom field in page properties). I added date for my project planned end date but I want to show this old date as strike-through when I have a new planned date. So I can show both old date and new date on my status report.

Is it possible in Confluence Server ?


Answers:

Get time spend of users via rest api
Asked by me:

**Hi**

Confluence has Macro that able us to get data from other services like youtrack through rest api

[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211199/pocketquery-for-confluence-sql-rest?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211199/pocketquery-for-confluence-sql-rest?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

How can I get user's time spent of Youtrack on Confluence page?

FYI:I create time report on Youtrack, but seems Youtrack not support report section on rest api!

Any idea ?

Thanks,


Answers:

Text extends past page
Asked by Master Mason:

I have a string of text that is very long on a page. While in Edit, the string wraps as expected showing on the page in its entirety.

After saving the page, the text extends beyond the page. To view it, the horizontal slide bar must be used. I would like the text to wrap as it does while in Edit.

How can the text be wrapped while viewing the page?

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Master Mason](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4450586) Welcome to the Atlassian Community

If you copied the text from another application then it could have some formating saved in the application that is causing the issue. I would suggest copying the text to notepad or something like that to remove the formatting and pasting it into a new page to see if that corrects the issue. If it does you can rebuild the page on a new fresh Confluence page or you could copy it back in to see if that resolves the issue.

If a space is archived, how best do we hide from the Directory of active spaces?
Asked by Craig Senior:

We want to hide an archived space from the Space Directory, unless requested by clicking **Archived Spaces**. What is the best way of hiding it from the list of active spaces?

* Delete the space?
* Set permissions?
* Other?


Answers:
author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: It depends:

1. Have you archived the *complete* space simply by setting its space status to "Archive"? Because then it puts the space to "Archived Spaces" category and that's it.
2. Or have you used the Better Content Archiving app to create the archive space and archive pages from the fresh space to the archive one? Then the fresh space and the archive space are not the same. You can drop the fresh space, the archive space will be kept, but it will contain only those pages that were archived previously.

comments: author: Craig Senior
body: Thanks Aron!  
As it turns out, both 1. and 2. apply to our situation - VERY useful.


author: Bastian Stehmann
body: Hi,

We have good experience with editing permissions, just remove all permissions, then it will not be shown any more.

comments: author: Craig Senior
body: If I deleted the active space, would that also delete the archive space, or are they independent?  

I don't have admin access on the space yet to check, but to me it's possible that we archived the content (pages) of the space, but did not actually archive the space. If that is the case, then my question might be answered by archiving the space.


author: Katie Crick
body: Hi Craig,

I want our spaces to be findable in the directory in case someone wants to browse around for old stuff.. so I created an "Archived Spaces" category (we use RefinedWiki to categorize our spaces) and put it at the VERY bottom of the structure. So if someone really wants to go look, they can wade through the list of \~800 archived spaces. :-)

As part of my official process for archiving spaces: While in the Space Settings, after I change the status of the space from Current to Archived, I also add "(Archived)" after the space name, in case anyone who goes to a page in an archived space (most likely through a very old link given to them, or a bookmark), they can see the space is Archived. At the beginning I was also adding a banner in the space layout, but after a while it felt like an unneeded waste of time. :-)

Many Confluence CLI calls take a long time to fail if the space ID is invalid
Asked by Ryan Hammond:

We LOVE the Confluence CLI / ACLI. However, one frustration is that the CLI will take a long time to fail when the provided space key does not exist.

**Example for an existing space:**

```
$?time ../atlassian-cli/confluence.sh --action getSpace --space "IISC"

Space key . . . . . . . . . . : IISC
Id . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 123412341234
Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : IISC
Description . . . . . . . . . :
Home page title . . . . . . . : foo
Home page id . . . . . . . . : 12341234
Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : global
Categories . . . . . . . . . :
URL . . . . . . . . . . . . . : https://confluence.foo.bar/display/IISC


real 0m0.937s
user 0m1.250s
sys 0m0.185s
```

<br />

**Example for a non-existant space:**

```
$?time ../atlassian-cli/confluence.sh --action getSpace --space "IISC2"

...zzz...

...many minutes go by...
```

Our Confluence Server instance has many thousands of spaces. When using the debug and verbose options, the call seems to be iterating over all of them in batches of 25, looking for the space key. Is there a way to make this call (or any other space-related call) fail faster when the key does not exist?


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi Ryan, by CLI I hope you mean [this app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/284/confluence-command-line-interface-cli?tab=overview&hosting=server) ?I do not have experience with it, but I would use [REST API method](https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/rest/7.12.3/#api/space-space) instead to check space existence.

comments: author: Ryan Hammond
body: Hi, Kishan. Yes, that is the Confluence CLI I was referring to. I am wondering if they could enhance their product to work as you had described (call the REST API /rest/api/space/{spaceKey} method as an early failsafe) or if there was another way using only the Confluence CLI to get that fail-fast behavior. We may just need to use /rest/api/space/{spaceKey} in our own toolchain before attempting potentially slow calls to the Confluence CLI.
