youngmon/atlassian-qna huggingface dataset:
Filtering and sorting based on second table row
Asked by MR:

I want to create a rather large table consisting of several topics/categories each with a number of sub-items. I am able to create the table and add custom filters, etc.

However, since filtering and sorting expects the headings to be in the first row, I was not able to add a different first row with merged cells and a category headline. This makes the table rather difficult to work with.

Is there a possibility to add a first row with the categories and shift the filtering and sorting options to the second row?

For more on the capabilities, see the [plugin's documentation here](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/TBL/Table+Plus+Macro).

how to capture our product requirements in the below sample tabular format?
Asked by Manjunatha K R:

Hi,

We are planning to capture our product requirements in the below sample tabular format::

SDD Requirement Id, Description, Impacted modules, Compliance Status per module  
SDD-F1-001, Push To notifier1, DB, Callp, GUI FC  
SDD-F2-001, Push To notifier2, DB, Callp, Scripts PC  
SDD-F2-002, Push To notifier3, GAT, CAT, EMS NC  
and so on.

Here to capture the "Impacted modules" column values, I think we need to create a "Custom field" drop down menu (of type "Select list multiple choices") in Confluence page - How to do this in confluence with predefined values updated into "Impacted modules" field and should be shared across confluence space to access from all other pages updated in same space ?

And also for each module, we need to get "Compliance Status per module" from the respective module owners, when we publish the final Requirement document with them in Confluence.

What type of custom field (or any other feature supported in Confluence), we need to create for capturing the "Compliance Status per module" column values against each requirement captured in the table?

Please let us know on these clarifications, helps us to go well with Confluence usage in our project. Thanks.

body: Hi Manju,

Confluence does not know Custom Fields (as Jira does).

The [Scaffolding Plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.customware.confluence.plugin.scaffolding/server/overview) enables you to create forms for your Confluence page. In these forms you can define your dropdown menues. If the page is edited (not the form), your users enter values into the form. They are not able to edit the page (=the form) itself.

We are using that plugin, it works well, but is not for free.

How do I include the draw.io diagram when exporting whole page to HTML?
Asked by Marija Ristin Sremcevic:

We use the Export to HTML function for some of our Confluence pages. Draw.io diagrams are on these pages. However, when I export a page to HTML from Confluence, diagrams do not appear embedded in the exported HTML file nor in the attachments. Is there a way to include draw.io in the HTML export?

Confluence server http only works locally, not remotely
Asked by bfang711:

hi,

I met a very strange issue. I set up the confluence server in my linux server and from the server, I can do http://localhost:8005 to get to the confluence login page, where 8005 is the port I customized. (8004 is the control port) However, I cannot access from other hosts, which are in the same intranet, by doing <http://192.168.1.xxx:8005>. (Not even from outside the intranet, which I port forward 8005 to \<public IP\>: 9005) Do you think that there is something I still missing somewhere?

Thank you.

Either your network is blocking it, or there's a firewall on the server blocking it (most default firewalls will block incoming connections on ports other than the expected ones for a basic server)

subject #1 has docs #1, #3, #7

subject #2 has docs #1, #2, #3, #4

Issue embedding a Google Drive document on a Confluence page
Asked by Sally Mitchell:

We've been embedding Google Drive documents on Confluence pages for a while and everything has worked great. Today, all the embed displays have decreased in width and cannot now be displayed on the Confluence page correctly. Is this a known issue?

The width is set to 800 and used to fill the width of the screen, and we've tried increasing the width to 1000 or even higher, but it doesn't change what is displayed, which is now extremely narrow. Refer to screenshots below.

Does anyone know what might have happened with our configuration or account and how we might go about resolving this?

What is the best way to set up a search of content for restricted user groups?
Asked by Melody Strauss:

Do you have to set restrictions on full pages or can you set divs or embedded spans or labels of some kind so that only certain searched data content from spaces or pages can be rendered but not an entire page's content?

Trying to see if this can be done by combing cql and user group restrictions or current macros without writing something new.


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: I think that if there would be a page with restriction it is not searchable, so combining this with a include page macro we can build a page content that would respect permissions when searching.
Confluence 6 - Make sidebar always visible in default theme
Asked by Alexis Michaelides:

How can I get the sidebar to be always visible/available in a space? Currently with Confluence 6, it seems the sidebar is only available in the space's home page. Any other page within a space does not display the sidebar.

This is a bit weird, as the whole idea of the sidebar is to give users easy-to-access shortcuts at all times. What's the point of that if they have to go to the space home page first?

I'm looking to replicate functionality similar to the old "Documentation" theme - I have already added a page tree macro in my sidebar and that's working fine, if only it were visible in all pages of the space!

I'm using the default theme. Also tried creating a new space to see if perhaps this was only an issue with spaces that were migrated from the Documentation theme to the new global one during our upgrade to 6, but that didn't work either.


Answers:
author: Kazuki Matsuda
body: +1.   

I want to see sidebar in editor mode.


author: AnnWorley
body: On my Confluence 6.x test instance the sidebar appears on every page in every space. I am using the default theme, too.

By trying on a newly created space, you eliminated space level Look and Feel customizations.

Please check the global level customizations under Confluence Admin\>Look and Feel and see if there is anything other than default stylesheets, HTML, Sidebar, header and footer etc.

Planning upgrade from confluence 5.9.1 to 6.1 (or later?); any known issues with add-ons?
Asked by crp705as:

Planning an upgrade from Conf 5.9.1 to 6.1 or later. Should all add-ons be upgraded or updated prior or can they wait until after?


Answers:
author: Marcelo Horlle
body: Hey Anne Marie,

You can click on the Cog Icon \> Add-ons \> add-ons and scroll down to the Confluence Update Check to check the compatibility of your add-ons with the version you are targeting to upgrade to.

If your users rely on particular add-ons that are not compatible with the new version, you may want to wait until they are compatible before upgrading Confluence.

However, if they don't rely, you can disable an add-on temporarily while you upgrade and while it is not compatible yet to avoid possible issues.

You can rely on the Confluence 6.1 Upgrade Guide documentation to help you out if you may need any further information.

Hope it helps!

Any known issue with UPM 2.21.4?
Asked by crp705as:

Am being prompted to upgrade my UPM from 2.20.5 to newer version 2.21.4. Note that I am not a techy but have no problem pressing the "update now" button.

Are their any known cautions prior to my doing this? Should the instance be "quiet" or is it seamless?


Answers:
author: Marcelo Horlle
body: Hey Anne Marie,

We currently have two open bugs logged against version 2.21.4 and you can find them at our [Ecosystem page for UPM](https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/UPM-5664?jql=project%20%3D%20UPM%20AND%20status%20not%20in%20(Resolved%2C%20Closed)%20AND%20affectedVersion%20%3D%202.21.4).

None of them are considered to be blockers for upgrade, so you should be good on upgrading your version. Also, as the UPM is is a separately installed component that supplements or enhances the functionality of an Atlassian application, in your case, Confluence, you don't need to worry about upgrade failures bringing harm to your application.

Hope that this helps!

JSD doesn't recognize text in a word or excel document
Asked by Thomas B:

I've had all kinds of problems with the JIRA Service Desk not being able to pull information back from the Confluence Knowledge Base. The interesting thing is that all of the information needed is in the Knowledge Base already.

2. I have documentation that is on word and excel documents, if JSD can display this information it should be able to search by it. So now I am stuck with 900+ microsoft documents that are displayed via macros but they cannot be search in the JSD.
