Is sharing table data across pages possible
Asked by Kate Grzegorczyk:

I have a table of data on one page, but would like to include certain cells on different pages, so that if the master table is updated, the data is also updated automatically on the pages that include the snippet.

Page with the "master" table:

Project Name \| Due Date

Project 1 \| Aug 2018

Project 2 \| Dec 2019

Now I'd like to include the Due Date for Project 2 on a separate confluence page.

Is this possible or does it require some sort of add-on?

How can I disable a health-check?
Asked by guardi:

In earlier versions of Confluence, I disabled the Java health check by:

* Settings \> Manage addons
* Dropdown \> System
* CTRL+F \> Confluence Healthcheck Plugin
* Click on the + to get the modules
* Disable confluence.healthcheck.jdk.name

In version 6.11 the Confluence Healthcheck Plugin does not seem to exist anymore. How can I disable a health check ?

Less important: is it possible to do the same from a shell prompt ?


Answers:
author: Dave Bosman [Realdolmen]
body: Hi,

The plugin is renamed and is called "Atlassian Troubleshooting and Support Tools"

Regards

author: Rick Li
body: Another system plugin may be related to health check: **Atlassian HealthCheck Common Module**

It appears in both Jira and Confluence.

In Jira some of the submodules of the above plugin can be disabled by default,

while in Confluence all submodules cannot be disabled by default.

comments: author: Corey Leighton
body: Sorry to dig up an old post, but is there any way to disable certain healthchecks? To save space in our dev environments, we do not copy over attachments. But this leads to constant attachment healthcheck failures that cause problems with our automated tests. Other than disabling all healthchecks, is there any means to skip specific checks?

Hide Space Tools/Hamburger menu from Specific users

Can this script that is used to hide the Space Tools from anonymous user also be used to hide the The Space Tools from specific users and/or groups? I want to hide the Space Tools/hamburger menu from specific users who only need to view the content on the page. They can share, edit, nothing.

Here is the original script from the KBs

Using Confluence Cloud as knowledge base for Jira Server Service Desk?
Asked by Jon:

I've tried over and over to get this to work but with no avail.

I've seen [this announcement](https://confluence.atlassian.com/servicedeskcloud/blog/2017/12/knowledge-bases-must-be-on-the-same-domain-as-your-service-desk) and [this issue](https://jira.atlassian.com/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/JSDCLOUD-5782) and [this issue](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Linking-Service-Desk-Cloud-to-Confluence-Server/qaq-p/819945) but am not certain it is the same situation as my mix: JSD Server with Confluence Cloud.

Has anyone been able to make this work? Note: the two instances are on different domains, but Jira support has told me my setup (JSD Server \& Confluence Cloud on different domains) is supposed to work and that the announcement is for a different setup (Confluence Server \& JSD Cloud).

Thanks


Answers:
author: Mauricio Karas
body: Hello, Jon. Thanks for reaching out to the Atlassian Community.

I believe the issue could be related to network problems in the Jira Server Side. When talking about application links with server applications we need to check the overall network environment because different factors can cause issues, like, firewall, reverse proxy, SSL, and so on.

My recommendation would be to change Jira's connector to a port without proxy and SSL(bypass proxy) to test if the issue remains. Looking at the documentation for [connecting to Atlassian Cloud applications](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/functional-differences-in-atlassian-cloud-744721664.html) we can see a list of recommended ports.

Try adding a new connector to Jira as stated [in this KB article](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-bypass-a-proxy-and-ssl-to-test-network-connectivity-827328189.html), but instead of using the port 8081, you should use port 8060, which is listed in the documentation about connecting to Cloud applications.

The following is an example of the connector you should add to the server.xml file:

```
<Connector port="8060"
maxThreads="150"
minSpareThreads="25"
connectionTimeout="20000"
enableLookups="false"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
protocol="HTTP/1.1"
useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
acceptCount="100"
disableUploadTimeout="true"/>
```

After such procedure, ensure your on-premise application is accessible as "*http:\<base_url\>:8060*" which will also require a restart, so you may have to schedule a downtime window for that. Afterward, try to establish the connection from Cloud to Server.

Please keep in mind that as application link issues are usually related to network problems, the above steps will be very helpful for us to mitigate the issue but we might have to proceed with additional steps that will depend according to your network environment. So please let us know how it goes, as we'll be glad to help!

Kind regards,

How to edit a Confluence Page Properties?
Asked by Milton Godinho:

While exporting a confluence page as PDF I realized that on our company template we have a table with:   

-Page Property (Security)  
-Page Property (Document Number)  
-Page Property (Version)

-Page Property (Status)  

After exporting, looking at the export PDF I see that only the export Date is filled.  
How do I edit the Page Properties for the other fields?

body: Hello [@Sudhir Poodar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1847061),

This looks like an application links issue. I would:

1. Re-index both Jira and Confluence - since you're on Cloud, you can request that to be executed by filing a ticket at [support.atlassian.com](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/)
2. If the re-index did not help, check the Jira-Confluence application links. You can delete and re-create them without losing any data.

Hope this helps!

body: Hi Jonathan,

The [View File macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/view-file-macro-170494360.html) has been known to have display issues like this, for example:

* [CONFSERVER-38017](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-38017) Excel chart size are not automatically re-sized when attached to a Confluence page
* [CONFSERVER-39119](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-39119) Excel Macro renders graph over text

This shows a similar behavior but with the Excel documents.

We will actually be removing the View File macro in future releases, thus it is not in our roadmap to correct existing issues for this macro.

My recommendation would be to use the newer feature as seen below:

* [Display files and images](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/display-files-and-images-245827130.html)

Can you give that a try and let me know if you have any trouble?

Not all tasks displayed in Confluence
Asked by Dhiraj_Kumar_Mishra:

I am not able see all the tasks in my task list that are assigned to me.


Answers:
author: Andy - PTC Redundant
body: Using Confluence for reviewing overview of Tasks is not so efficient.

Everything in JIRA and quick to filter / find.

That said, if you really want it in Confluence, makes sure you use the Software Project tool when setting up a Space and link it to the project.

That way all the Epics / User Stories / Tasks and their statuses/assignee will be listed.

Downside: You can't see the titles, only the codes, and the assignee can only be ranked alphabetically; you can't filter.

Further options *are* available on the Marketplace. Investment is required.

If your company wanted to really invest heavily in Confluence and turn it into a Social Intranet (RefinedWiki is one example, but others available) you can ask the consultants to build it in for you.
