Table of Contents Zone Macro weird labelling
Asked by David.Morrison:

Has anyone else notices the Table of Contents Zone macro not coming up properly when using /... and instead is labelled as:   

**Org.randombits.confluence.toc.toc-zone.label**   

for some reason the*randombits* part isn't giving much confidence.

Database "Card" Layout doesn't show column heading?
Asked by Charles Johnson:

I created a database with several columns/rows similar this:  

Item (Text) \| Spring (Tag) \| Summer (Tag) \| Autumn (Tag) \| Winter (Tag)  
Scarf \| False \| False \| True \| True  
Swimsuit \| True \| True \| False \| False  
Blue Jeans \| True \| True \| True \|True

![Screenshot 2024-07-29 at 11.18.34 AM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/338580iC26035E484A58354/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-07-29 at 11.18.34 AM.png")  

When I create a view that uses "Cards"

The Seasonal column names aren't included (nor can i find any setting that allows them to be displayed) so I just get a list of Items with "True"/"False" without any context regarding the column the responses represent

![Screenshot 2024-07-29 at 11.20.32 AM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/338581iBF6EFD9DAC80CB3E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-07-29 at 11.20.32 AM.png")

Same situation via the "Board" view:  
![Screenshot 2024-07-29 at 11.22.01 AM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/338582iB104DF5E4295AA39/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-07-29 at 11.22.01 AM.png")

What am I missing here, or is this a limitation of the Confluence Database?

*Obviously, this isn't the 'real' database content, but it's the same layout from a real csv import that had SEVERAL rows of 'Items' and SEVERAL columns of 'seasons' all of which are marked as 'true' or 'false' in the matrix I am hoping to relocate from a spreadsheet to a Confluence Database for easier team upkeep.*


Answers:
author: ?ukasz Modzelewski _TTPSC_
body: From what I've checked the only way to display details from card/board is to click on single item, then all details are displayed in table in the sidebar on the right.

But it looks like those views are still miss visibility settings for labels, I also hope it will be added in some future updates

comments: author: Charles Johnson
body: eww.... yeah.... I'd have viewers clicking for days on the tags to see the details in the sea of "True"/"False" .

Good Catch though on *how* to see the details per each entry.. but it definitely wouldn't be the ideal workaround for the casual table viewer with multiple .

How to move document from Google drive to confluence
Asked by Erin Thorn:

I have set the permissions to anyone with a link can edit the document, when I attach it on confluence it briefly pulls up the document and then says it is empty.


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Erin Thorn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5555442) welcome to Community!

Are you adding the link to a Google Drive file on the content of a page, or as a smart link in the page tree? To troubleshoot your problem, it would be helpful to have a screenshot. You can blur out/cover any confidential information.

body: As a smart link?


author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Erin Thorn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5555442)

Use the iframe macro with the share link to your Google Drive's doc.

Depending on the desired outcome, there's a more sophisticated method which I described [here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Make-your-Google-Slides-presentation-presentable/ba-p/2716845).

Bulk export/import pages in xml or any suitable format
Asked by wajih zouaoui:

Hello the community,

Add anchors to header within a document
Asked by Jonathan Brotto:

Could I add anchors to the header within a document? I was copying and pasting from Word as the original was uploaded when I created the new page. Saw the headers from the original upload had anchors.


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Jonathan Brotto](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5555313) You can use the Anchor macro, described on this page: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-anchor-macro/>

This page contains a link to the page describing how you insert a link to the anchor.

comments: author: Jonathan Brotto
body: Is there a sample of the steps? before vs after document?


author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Jonathan Brotto](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5555313) I'm not sure what you mean by "before vs after document." You use this procedure to insert an anchor in the Confluence page, so after the content is in Confluence.

I have never created a page in Confluence by importing a Word document, so I'm not sure whether anchors would automatically be created in Confluence for the headings.


author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: Do you mean adding anchors into the page header? Or into an attached Word document?

comments: author: Jonathan Brotto
body: I would say within a confluence document. I am adding a new section and like to put an anchor in the body or sub header.

Linking to drafts
Asked by Frederik Lombaert:

We are writing pages A and B, which both have lots of links to pages D and E. However, pages D and E are still just blank pages.

We want to already create the pages D and E so we can link to them on A and B. Because otherwise we have to come back to A and B later. However, we don't want our users to see lots of blank pages in the menu overview, and have 75% of the links go to blank pages. (Both A/B and D/E will in fact be hundreds of pages.)

The following solutions are not practical:

* Undefined links: It's not possible to link from page B to an undefined link on page A.
* Leaving the blanks as drafts: It's not possible to link to drafts.

Which leaves as best solution: To restrict access to these blank pages D and E by publishing them in a separate space with restricted access (seems more practical than managing permissions per individual page). When they are finished, move them to the public space.  

However, the issue with this solution is that the user will only get a "access denied" notification AFTER clicking the link. Which is the reason for this question: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-edit-link-color-based-on-target-space/qaq-p/2768877> .  

Am I on the right track here or is there a more simple solution?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Frederik Lombaert](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5555276) and welcome to the Community.

You can't link to a draft - the page does not exist.

Workaround:

Save (publish) pages D and E without content. Then reopen them to work on the content. This will allow you to link to them from A and B.

This is the easiest and simplest solution.

comments: author: Frederik Lombaert
body: Hi [@Kristian Klima](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5074962)

Thanks for your reply!

This is indeed our current solution. But the inconvenience then, is that our users will see lots of blank pages, and most of the links will go to blank pages (until everything is ready, which might take years).

But if this is indeed the only solution, then we'll try to edit the links to blanks in a certain color as described in [How to edit link colors based on target space.](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-edit-link-color-based-on-target-space/qaq-p/2768877#M319171)


author: Kristian Klima
body: Doesn't have to be blank, just use a note macro with Work in progress :)

Alternatively, you can work with two synced spaces - your Source and your Target and sync final content from one to another, the idea being that your readers would only access the content in the Target space.

Update external clients
Asked by Yvo van der Tol:

Hi Community,

to keep our clients up-to-date on the list of subprocessors we want to create this list in Confluence. The client need to be informed ( proactively) when changes are made to this list?.

Our idea is that we have client followers of this page and when an update is done they will receive a message. We want to avoid that we need to give them access/sign them.

What will be a good way to keep them informed on these changes?

Kind regards Yvo


Answers:
author: Valerie Knapp
body: Hi [@Yvo van der Tol](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5555358) , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question.

Yes, the configuration you have suggested could work. You could create a list of external users and enable them to your Confluence instance and Space as guests, which would enable them to see and interact with your pages.

Here is the documentation for how to set up guests - <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/invite-guests-for-external-collaboration/>

Hope this helps you.

Cheers!

comments: author: Yvo van der Tol
body: [@Valerie Knapp](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4929946) thanks for the swift reply and will take it from here. Will let you known when I needed further support, so I can extend my skills ;-)


author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: [@Yvo van der Tol](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5555358) I agree with Valerie that using the "guest" feature would be the best for this use case.

I am not sure though:

1. If guests can watch pages, i.e. if they can be automatically notified when pages changes.
2. If you can rely on them clicking "Watch".

Maybe you could implement the notification part with the [Better Content Archiving](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/123/better-content-archiving-and-analytics-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app. It has a flexible [notification system](https://www.midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/cloud/documentation/configure/notification-schemes), which can periodically execute a JQL search (e.g. "give me all pages updated in the last 24 hours"), compile a customizable email from the result and email that to a group.

![configure-notification-scheme-cloud.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/338816i27A02B8D06DBD158/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "configure-notification-scheme-cloud.png")

You could eventually combine these 2 possibilities to a single consistent solution.

Please can you explain a little bit more your context? You are just starting out and are looking for a way to create a lot of projects quickly or is there another motivation?

Support for Polls/Surveys?
Asked by Gary Weaver:

It would be cool to offer poll/survey questions in [answers.atlassian.com](http://answers.atlassian.com). For example, if I wanted to take a poll to determine the number of Confluence plugin developers there are on [answers.atlassian.com](http://answers.atlassian.com) vs. others and to determine whether those developers are working for an Atlassian partner organization, contracting on their own, or being paid full-time to work as plugin developers, etc.- that is not a question that I could pose here or on the mailing lists and expect to get the response I would if multiple-choice poll/survey functionality were to be provided.

I see some mention of OSQA thinking about adding it at one point here: <http://meta.osqa.net/questions/112/polls-and-surveys>

However, I don't know if there was follow-up/if anyone created a module for this. Has Atlassian looked into providing polls/surveys via answers? Maybe it would be a good idea for a ShipIt day?

author: Gary Weaver
body: All of your ideas sound great to me, and thanks for creating the feature request! I didn't know if it had already been considered or it is was already available/if there was some other way of doing it or a reason it shouldn't be done. The original thing that spurred me on was to try to find out more information about the number/percentages of people on [answers.atlassian.com](http://answers.atlassian.com) that are doing Atlassian plugin/solution development and where they fit in- as solo contractors, working for an Atlassian partner company with others, working for the company that needs the plugins/solutions, etc.


author: Jeremy Largman
body: I added a [feature request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ANSWERS-249). If there's momentum to the idea, we'll really consider implementing it.

As for the example, I could see other ways of doing this, including enhancements like:

* A [User API](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ANSWERS-219) could do things like integrate into [plugins.atlassian.com](http://plugins.atlassian.com) or our various other resources, allowing Answers champions to have a profile around the Atlassian sites
* We could provide some enhancements to the user page - perhaps a user hover - that tells you what a user is interested in. That way you can follow them.
* We can do some summary stats about who's on the site

Any thoughts about those? I know it's a bit of a digression of the main feature request.

Yes - though it is a daily allotment and resets/refillis daily. When you run out of votes for the day, nothing bad happens, you just can't vote for the rest of the day.

The other daily limit is the amount of karma you can get in one day for being upvoted (300 a day).

How do I add a technical contact for a license?
Asked by Partha Kamal:

I am currently the only technical contact for my Atlassian license, but I would like to add a colleague?

How do I do that?


Answers:
author: JohnA
body: Each Atlassian license can be associated with an **unlimited number** of 'Technical' and 'Billing' contacts.

There is always one '**main' Technical contact** and one '**main' Billing contact** -- these are the people we contact for specific quesitons about the license. However, you can also add more technical and billing contacts.

**Technical contacts** have the ability to request Support for their license.

**Billing contacts** are contacted regarding payment of licenses and invoices.

If you're not a big company, it's perfectly OK to have one person listed as **both** the Technical contact and the Billing contact.

To add or remove Technical and Billing contacts, go to <https://my.atlassian.com> and login as a user who is already associated to a license. You can then add and remove other contacts.

If somebody in your company leaves, or somebody joins your technical team, be sure to add them as contacts so they can get Technical Support and be informed of product-related information such as new version releases.
