Filter notifications by user on Slack
Asked by Maxime Picot:

Hello,  

My team has recently started using the Slack Power-Up for Trello, and one of my teammates asked if they could receive their Trello notifications in Slack.  
So basically, get a Slack message for any action that involves cards they're assigned to. From what I can see, the only filters available are action/event related.

The questions raised are:  
Does the Slack Power-Up allow to filter notifications by user ?  
If not, is there another way to achieve this result ?

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Maxime Picot](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2789864) I developed an integration for Trello called Benko Board:

<https://trello.com/integrations/#benkoboard>

Currently it doesn't forward notifications to slack, but that's something I've always wanted the impetus to implement. It already does some stuff around creating notifications as cards in a central board, and also reduces the total volume of notifications by unsubscribing you from any card you're added to.

It's not a gigantic leap to implement the ability for this to forward notifications to the Slack API for a given user -- it would probably show up as a Direct Message for that user in Slack.

From what I've seen there aren't any other ways to achieve this result other than working with the Trello API in this way.

How can I disable the auto-watch feature when I change a due date on a card?
Asked by Georgios Vardaxoglou:

Auto-watch is enabled when I change a due date on a card. This is frustrating as I move many cards from day to day. Is there any way to disable this automated feature?


Answers:
author: Jodi LeBlanc
body: Hi [@Georgios Vardaxoglou](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3045991) You are unable to turn off this feature at this time, the Trello team is monitoring the community threads but please email support@trello.com and let them know that you are finding this feature frustrating.

Thanks for your patience,

Jodi

Trello: How do I unstar a board that has been archived?
Asked by Kevin Pedersen:

I have a board that was starred as a favorite and it has now been archived by the admin of that board. I am unable to unstar the board, so its always there in my favorites, but the usual options of unstarring a board are unavailable.

The board doesn't appear in my list of starred boards, but it has persisted on the landing page that shows all the boards I belong to.

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Kevin Pedersen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3043214) I was unable to reproduce this. I did the following:

1) Logged into 2 separate Trello accounts A and B

2) Created a new board from account A

3) Invited account B onto that board

4) Using account B, starred the board

5) Using account A (admin) archived the board

6) Observed that the board immediately disappeared from my boards list in account B

Maybe try logging out/in again. Also, are you able to reproduce the issue in a test case as I have done above?

If this persists, then you should send an email with a screencast (eg. made with useloom.com) or a series of annotated screenshots demonstrating the issue, along with details of what browser/platform you're observing this on.


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: [@Kevin Pedersen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3043214)You can try to unarchive the board, then unstar it, then archive again. Obviously this only works if you have the necessary permission.

How do I turn off the automatic "watch" function in Trello?
Asked by Katherine Nicole Ball:

Hi there. I've been using Trello as a personal homework organizer for a few years now, and it's been great by the way!

However, within the past few days, it has begun automatically "watching" every card I put a due date on (which is all of them, it's homework!) and setting a reminder inside the due date tab. I want due dates on everything because its simply understood at a glance - I don't want the reminders or the "watch" feature though. I check Trello every day, I don't need notifications on top of that. I reserve that for really far off due dates that I'm likely to forget. There is no option that I've found to disable this automatic reminder/watch system though. In fact, the due date tab doesn't even have a drop down option for "no notification." Does anyone know why they implemented this for everyone, and how to turn it off?

I know it's just another click to turn off "watch," but I used to not have to worry about it at all. This stuff is supposed to reduce clicks, but it's doing the opposite for me because it's not what I want.

Thanks guys.

How do we take ownership of a board back from an ex employee?
Asked by Rupert Smith:

Hi,

As a company we are in a tricky position. We have a trello project with a lot of data in but this was opened by an employee who no longer works for our company. The data does not belong to him and he is ignoring all requests to transfer the account from his email.

Any advise from Trello or Atlassian on this?

Best,

R


Answers:
author: Rupert Smith
body: Hi Iain,

The reason we are wanting ownership is to allow us to take our data points through some kind of API or integration to our analytics platform.

Can our developer have access to do this without being the main account holder/manager?

Best,

Rupert


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Rupert Smith](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3044589) do you have access to the boards? Just make a copy of the boards and you'll be the admin of those copies. If you want to remove the ex-employee's access to the boards, then you need to have them set up as part of a business class or enterprise team originally, so there's not much you can do about that anymore unless you're also the admin of those boards.


author: Iago Docando
body: It seems more a legal matter than a technicall one. I WON'T PROVIDE WITH ANY LEGAL ADVICE but I could share some thoughts

If I understand correctly... has your ex employee set up a whole trello operation using his or her personal email account and you have operated like this for whatever amount of time? This is the only scenario where I can se you having no control other than to politely request him/her to do something. Otherwise you'd just take control over the company email I guess.

Don't you have some sort of confidenciality agreement signed by that ex employee that could provide you with leverage to threat with suing? In any case it would seem advisable to contact a lawyer.

Also, take into account anything you might need to do in order to comply with data protection regulation in your territory. For example, under GPDR considerations (europe) you should report a security breach if personal data of any kind is involved and document the extent of it based on the type of data involved, evidences you have of the data being missused... and so many things.

I'm sorry you are in this situation. Hopefully everything works out well in the end.
Persons with disabilities use Trello; how well does that go?
Asked by Larry Bostian:

I have several colleagues who have disabilities, including blindness. We are considering using Trello. Does anyone with similar experience have advice for us?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Larry Bostian](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3040636) I've seen this question before and from what I have seen it doesn't appear to be the case that Trello has been developed with accessibility in mind, which means it's probably not going to be a strong contender.

In this article, the author states:

*"The interface isn't easy to work with, as it doesn't have WAI-ARIA standards. Even though it can be used with the keyboard, it doesn't report a lot of things. For example, when you navigate in the list of cards with and , navigation does work. However, it doesn't let my screen reader know which card has gained focus now. This means that even though I can use the keyboard to navigate to different cards, I can't, because I don't know which task I'm on"*

<https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/tools-blind-programmer-parham-doustdar/>

It also has a poor, and recent, write up on Accessibility Reviews:

<https://a11y.reviews/#trello>

As [@marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1205132) suggested I would recommend going with something else based on what I can see on this topic.


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: [@Larry Bostian](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3040636)My impression is that the visual component of the Trello boards, lists and cards is quite important. That implies that visually impaired users will find it harder to navigate a Trello board, because they must use non-visual clues.

Have you thought of using a simpler list based ToDo app, maybe even text based? These often do not look as pretty, but are easier to navigate for visually impaired users, and screen readers work well with them.
Unable to self-join team from linked Slack
Asked by Ben_Randall:

This page ([https://trello.com/en-US/guide/team-administration](https://trello.com/en-US/guide/team-administration.?)) seems to indicate that if you have linked a Slack team you should be able to self-join a Trello team. The section called "Be a Slack(er)" has the details.

Additionally, there is a tip that says:

**\> #TrelloTips:** [Business Class](https://trello.com/business-class?utm_source=guide&utm_medium=team%20administration) team admins can choose whether any member of a linked Slack team can join the team or if Slack team members should only be invited manually.

The current configuration for my team is: "Slack team members can **self-join** this Trello team." which implies that I need Business Class if I want to *disable* that functionality.

However, self-joining does not seem to work. How do I figure out what's wrong.

I responded to this previous question: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-questions/Trello-Slack-integration-self-join/qaq-p/1003101> but it's marked as answered so I'm not sure that it will get looked at thus the repost.


Answers:
author: Ben_Randall
body: Enabling self-join from a connected Slack team is ONLY available to Business Class users. The wording on the settings page and the documentation makes this very vague.

Can you please reach out to our support team directly at <https://trello.com/contact>? We'd be glad to help you troubleshoot!

did you solve the issue about "self-join team from linked Slack"? I would appreciate some help.

How can i set and view the expiration date for a space in confluence
Asked by Mehdi:

How can i set and view the expiration date for a space in confluence


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I think you might need to expand on that.

You seem to be assuming that Confluence spaces have an expiration date (they do not), so you'll need to explain what you are using to implement it first.

comments: author: Mehdi
body: Hi, yes im searching for expiration date of space , thank you


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You'll need to find or write an app to provide that.

I'm not aware of any that have the simplistic approach of setting an expiration date, mostly apps looking at old content are more about monitoring usage to establish pages (not spaces) that are less used and giving you archiving options.


author: Levente Szabo _Midori_
body: In your use case, would all the content in the space expire at the same time? Setting an expiration date for a space is not a common use case, as it's more useful to set expiration dates for individual pieces of content, like pages or blogs.  

You can use [Better Content Archiving for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/123/better-content-archiving-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=cac&utm_medium=cac-comment-1742640&utm_campaign=gh) to set expiration dates for Confluence pages. You can create very granular page status rules and assign notification emails to them. You can [send out email reminders](https://www.midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/cloud/documentation/configure/notification-schemes?utm_source=cac&utm_medium=cac-comment-1742640&utm_campaign=gh) with contents that are based on the status that fired the reminder emails to implement your Confluence document review workflow.

Emails for Tasks
Asked by Joshua Dupuis:

Is there still not a solution to get emails to send out when a task is near its due date?


Answers:
author: Jessica
body: Hello Joshua,  

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Currently, we do not have a native way or tool that would trigger a reminder notification or e-mail for tasks near its due date.  

We do have some feature requests suggesting it to be implemented:  

* [Tasks' due dates should be notified to users through notification box](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-35150)

* [Daily / Weekly Digest Email for Tasks](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-34389)

There is some options on the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=task+reminder) that you may find useful for that functionality. :)

Additionally, you can also check on your Profile in Confluence, to see all the tasks assigned to you on a list, and its due dates.  

I hope this information helps!   

Cheers,  
Jessica

Managing 2 Public Spaces
Asked by Stephen Lawrence:

Good afternoon all

This is a tricky one, I will be very impressed if someone has a solution!

I have 2 public spaces (anonymous access), but I don't want someone who has access to Space A to be able to navigate from there to Space B.

i.e. I send a link for Space A, someone views the page (on Space A) but has no way to go from that page to another space (in this example Space B)

Is this even possible?

thanks

Stephen


Answers:
author: Niranjan
body: Hi [@Stephen Lawrence](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1217408) ,

If you are restricting spaces , they are no more public spaces. You may need to create new spaces and use groups if you would like to restrict confidential data or create a space with page restrictions for child pages.

comments: author: Stephen Lawrence
body: I need restrictions across spaces not pages. I have 2 **public**spaces, I need to hide any links between the two ideally


author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hey [@Stephen Lawrence](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1217408)

I think maybe my team's app Scroll Viewport might work for you. Rather than just providing anonymous access, which is open to anyone, you can create two authenticated sites using Scroll Viewport to only allow certain people access.

Currently, you can create passcodes that you can give to the people who need access to your sites: <https://help-cloud.k15t.com/scroll-viewport/Set-Up-Authenticated-Access.1381629960.html>  

We're also working on support for SAML authentication.

comments: author: Stephen Lawrence
body: is this free?


author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: No, it has some cost related to it, depending on the number of users in Confluence. You can see the pricing here: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud\&tab=pricing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=pricing)

Bulk copying specific pages to another space
Asked by Tom Wardak:

Hi all,

I'm looking for a tidy solution for the mass copying of specific pages (a couple hundred) from our main documentation space to a separate space for our external readers. Ideally, page hierarchies would be maintained.

The current thinking is that writing a custom script that picks up pages with a particular label and copies them over might be the way to go, but I'm curious to know if anyone else has come up against this challenge before and how they solved it (and if there are any pitfalls we should be aware of).

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Mike Rink
body: Hi [@Tom Wardak](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4466611) , not sure if you're considering apps, but our app [Comala Publishing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/143/comala-publishing?hosting=cloud&tab=overview?) is built to handle exactly this kind of use case - moving pages from one space to another set-up for anonymous access. If you're in Data Center you can also specify which labels you're using to identify pages to published.   

Hope this helps!

How to make the URL prettier?
Asked by Yenchi Cheng:

Hi,

I have been looking for solutions to have a prettier URL for some of the pages that we share more often with our clients. We just need it to be remembered easily.

Now it's showing like: [https://domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SpaceKey/pages/PageID/Page+Title](https://smartflow.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/779321345/SCIM+API)

and we think it would be so much better if it's: [https://domain.atlassian.net/wiki/SpacesKey/Page+Title](https://smartflow.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/779321345/SCIM+API)

Expand Marco Search Ability
Asked by Adam Chase:

In using the new Confluence editor, I've noticed that the /Expand macro is not searchable. This is severely crippling this macro. In using the macro commonly on FAQ pages, this macro helps to keep our users engaged by keeping the unnecessary information out of view. Allowing content/titles of the macro the ability to be searched is critical to our use of our Confluence space.

When directly searching for information contained within a Macro, the search results DO show the page title that contains the information, but it does not highlight the 'nearest' match of the content within the Marco itself. If I add the content to an H tagged element on the page, it WILL show in the search results.


Answers:
author: Adam Chase
body: I should likely note that content within the macro isn't 'quotable' in the search results as with content not contained in a macro on a given page.

Something else I've noticed, The Atlassian community space view counter does not discount the submitter from it. So if I refresh this page, the view count goes up... Not cool ?\\_(?)_/?
