Creating multiple Jira issues from a Confluence table, when some rows have already had this done
Asked by John McCabe:

I've a table of requirements in Confluence that I've previously selected and created multiple Jira issues from. So far so good.

Now, I've updated the table, adding a bunch more requirement/stories into it. Now, when I select the table and choose to create multiple issues, all the ones I've already done are included with information on the link to Jira that's shown in the table, e.g.:
> Following issues will be created:
>
> \[\] Blah blah PRJ-14 Backlog
>
> \[\] Blah blah 2 PRJ-15 Backlog

(where PRJ is the project name in Jira). If I press Create, is this really going to create a bunch of new issues in Jira that are duplicates of the ones that are already there, or is it clever enough to not do that?

John


Answers:
author: Dave Theodore [Coyote Creek Consulting]
body: The "create multiple issues from table" functionality can't do that, unfortunately. If you only have a few, the easiest thing would be to close/won't fix the newly created issues in Jira, then edit the Confluence page and remove the duplicate Jira lozenges from the table. They delete like text in the editor.


author: Bill Goodall
body: Wouldn't another option be to split the table in the confluence page? Split the table once you have a batch that is ready to be imported, run the import process. And leave the remainder in a backlog table.

What is internal release?
Asked by CMJIRA:

Hi\~\~

What does "internal release" mean?Is there any difference between the internal release and normal release?

![internal release.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/50490i2EF26DCB1FBEA4DB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "internal release.jpg")


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello!

Thank you for reaching out! Happy to elaborate on this for you.

This does tend to happen more with \*.0 releases, and generally it occurs when the release branch has already been cut, but then we want to add something else to it, or if we find an issue after we've already cut the release branch, and then just include it in the next release.

Therefore, with 6.15.0, 6.15.1 became the first \*official\* release.

I hope that clarifies things, but do let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Shannon

This is the only option available in Cloud, the login and users are email based.

Confluence Cloud requires your user to have an Atlassian login. So inviting them is the only way to create them in Confluence Cloud.

How to move the table of contents to the second page of a space export in PDF?
Asked by Ludovic MOTTINI:

Maybe I do it wrong, but I would like to create a user guide space that becomes exportable in PDF. I am using Confluence Cloud.

I was expecting to get the root page of the space as the first PDF page and then a table of contents. But the TOC comes first.

I tried to create a TOC on a blank page with the children macro, but I am missing the page numbers when exporting in PDF.

Any other option?

Thanks!

Confluence Server behind proxy as a knowledge base
Asked by Marco Brundel:

In the following situation, how can we make a knowledge base space available to customers?  
Concerns Jira Service Desk Server and Confluence Server where Confluence is behind proxy and the requirement is that Confluence (all Spaces except the KB) remain behind proxy.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there!

As I understand it seems that we need to enable Public Access in your instance.

Marco, as long as they can access Confluence via the Proxy, you should be able to enable Public access and then setup the necessary settings on the desired Space.

Here, we have some docs on this:

**[Setting Up Public Access - Confluence Server](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/setting-up-public-access-156.html)**

[**How to give non Confluence users access to a Space**](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-give-non-confluence-users-access-to-a-space-779166002.html)

Here are the steps on how to set this up. These are straight from the docs linked above. Let me know if there is still questions about the process!

**Setting Public Access**
> 1. Choose the**cog icon ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/files/747833194/747833195/2/1517274813281/cog.png)** , then choose **General Configuration**
> 2. Choose **Global Permissions** in the left-hand panel.
> 3. Choose **Edit Permissions**.
> 4. In the 'Anonymous Access' section, select the **can use** check box to enable anonymous access to the content on your site.
> 5. If you want to allow anonymous users to see [user profiles](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/your-profile-and-settings-139467.html), select the check box in the **View User Profiles** section.  
>    *Note:* You must grant the 'can use' permission as well, if you want to grant the 'View User Profiles' permission.
> 6. Choose **Save All**.

**Enabling Anonymous Access to a Space**
> * In Confluence, click on the cog icon on the top right handside of the menu bar and select **General Configuration**
> * In the menu on the left of the screen, scroll down and click on **Space Permissions** under the **USERS \& SECURITY** heading
> * Scroll down until you get to the **Individual Spaces** heading and then look for the space you want to allow Anonymous Users to access
> * Click the **Manage Permissions** link for the space
> * Scroll down the page to **Anonymous Access** and click on the 'Edit Permissions' button
> * To give Anonymous users the option to view pages in the space but not modify, create or comment on them, check the box under **All** **View** for the **Anonymous** row
> * Click on the 'Save All' button, your screen should now look like this:

Sharing Page with Other Confluence User

I'm sorry I couldn't give you better news!

Another possibility is if you have Jira Service Desk installed, you can create customer accounts for your client, which are free. Then you can allow your the clients to view the specific spaces in Confluence which are meant to be viewable for your clients.

Have a look here:

* [Serving Customers with a Knowledge Base](https://confluence.atlassian.com/servicedeskcloud/serving-customers-with-a-knowledge-base-732528995.html)

Thank you for reaching out! Happy to help.

If the pages and projects aren't open to the public, then you need to have those users added on your instance as licensed users.

I hope that clarifies things for you.

How to add a user in Confluence?
Asked by Chris Jarvis:

How do I add a user in Confluence? I can see where to edit permissions. I can delete pages.

But I cannot find a way to add a new user.


Answers:
author: Alexander Bondarev
body: I think the question here is how to add users to the space.

[@Chris Jarvis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2350429) , are you space admin?

<br />

there was such [a question](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-add-members-to-existing-team-spaces/qaq-p/382413) earlier:

You can add a specific user like this:

1. Open Confluence.
2. Click Spaces.
3. Click Space directory.
4. Click Space Details icon beside to Space to update. ![information](/html/images/emoticons/information.png "information")
5. Click Permissions.
6. Under Individual Users, click Edit Permissions.
7. In field under user list, enter users name and click Add.
8. User is added to space.

However, it might be better to add a group of users. This way, you can add/remove users from the group instead of assigning specific users directly to a space:

1. Open Confluence.
2. Click Spaces.
3. Click Space directory.
4. Click Space Details icon beside to Space to update. ![information](/html/images/emoticons/information.png "information")
5. Click Permissions.
6. Under Groups, click Edit Permissions.
7. In field under user list, enter the group name and click Add.
8. Group is added to space.

This allows me to add an existing user to a Space. I need a step before that to add a new user. Or more to a point a test user to

I cannot see the **User management**tab mention in the earlier reply.

Or ask your Admins to make your Space public - it makes possible anonymus(with out logg-in) to read your articles.

Can I have two separate file lists on one template page?
Asked by Christine J:

Currently we have two separate file lists under each project in our page tree. We'd like to create a **Documentation** **template** with two separate file lists in the template. When I try to do this, I can't figure out how to do this or if it's even possible. We'd like one template to house two different file lists and have the ability to use the template across multiple projects in the page tree.

This isn't the best mock-up but it's an example of what we're looking for. Essentially, two file lists on one page.

![display mockup.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/50405iBDF562FF692082D2/image-dimensions/518x193?v=v2 "display mockup.png")


Answers:
author: Jonathan Smith
body: [@Christine J](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1562421) ,

Label driven solution:

* Copy your file list page
* Edit the Content Report Table macro on the copied file list page
* Change the labels to file-list2 (or some other label than file-list)
* As new file lists are created, leave the page label as file-list or change it to the new label so it appears on the other file list parent page.

Decision Log Numbering
Asked by Josiah Knowles:

The decision log is becoming very large. We believe it would helpful to order the decisions by numbers so that one could easily scroll to the decision number they are after. This could be done by adding a number field to the table that aggregates into being shown on the decision log, but the difficulty is knowing the next number that should be used without having to view the decision log. Additionally, as people are adding decisions at the same time we want to avoid duplication of numbers (so if two people see the next number should be 30, we don't end up with two decisions numbered 30). Is is possible in Confluence to have numbered decisions, and when a new decision is created the next number is automatically populated or created? This way decisions can be made anywhere in the site at any time, but the number remains unique to the decision being made and can be shown on the decision log.


Answers:
author: suzanne.potter
body: I don't have answer for this but we need the same functionality. As a work around we have been using the page ID generated by confluence and copying/pasting that into an "ID" field we created. At least the number is then unique.

Page Tree Macro
Asked by TA:

In Confluence Cloud version, is there a way to exclude the current page from a page tree macro when the current page is a page within the root page?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there!

Currently, this is not possible. The macro allows selection of a different page as root page.

The page tree has the objective of showing all the pages under a certain page, which can be defined under the macro settings.

The closest to this would be to set the root page as @self . This, however, will not show pages that are on the same level as the current page.

Let us hear from you!
