Welcome to Atlassian Community!

When creating a Jira ticket from Confluence, by default, it will show the Issue type, Issue key, Summary, and Status.

It's possible to remove this information and let only the Issue key or other information. After creating the issue, click to edit the page, click on the Jira issue link and you can remove all the summary.

Task Report : Without assignee or without date
Asked by Marc BEAUFORT:

Good Morning,

I work with confluence and us the task functionality (and I happy with it) and the organisation don't use JIRA.

But I would like to have some "data quality report" to avoid mistake and overdue action.

So my request(s) are :

* Is there a way to create a task report for tasks without date ?
* Is there a way to create a task report for tasks without assignee ?

Many thanks for your support/answer.


Answers:

body: Hello [@Marc BEAUFORT](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1833828),

You can filter the Task Report macro with the Table Filter macro for the empty assignee and/or for the empty due date. Here is an example:

Do you need to see a table with empty due date and assignee or do you need to build some charts?


author: Marc BEAUFORT

With use the ordering as workaround of filtering

Yay, sounds like your team is heading down a great path. My entire company keeps all of our information in Confluence, and it's amazing to see how easy it is to work together and learn.

One thing I would suggest you keep in mind is [content reuse](https://www.k15t.com/rock-the-docs/content-reuse). Avoid rewriting knowledge by writing it only once and then including it in multiple pages.

Good luck!

How to find the last login for users in confluence cloud
Asked by Vikram Kuruba:

We would like to strictly manage the licenses for the users and deactivate any inactive ones. How do I find the list of users and their last login in confluence cloud?


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: Here is what I do.

1. go to the User management section under Administration
2. search for users by product = Confluence and status of Active
3. export the list and open in Excel
4. sort by last login and draw the line where you want. I generally do two things. First I look for individuals that have not logged in for say 120 days and I simply deactivate them. A second list of those between 120 and 90 days I send an email to inquire as to whether they truly need access or not.

Try the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app:

* Use the [Table from CSV](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+CSV+macro) macro to get your data from the attached file
* Use the [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro) macro to build the required charts

Besides these actions the app will help you to filter and aggregate your data (make pivots) to achieve even more goals.

The source editor is available on 'existing' pages, so create a blank page, give it a title and save it.

Users aren't redirected to default Site Homepage
Asked by Dao Starita:

We have a setup to allow unlicensed users to login to our server Confluence and access a Confluence Space.

* If a user enters the space URL directly into the browser web address, upon login, the user lands correctly onto the default page of that space. Ex: <https://confluence.website.com/display/SPACE/Home>
* However, if the user enters just the confluence subdomain, <https://confluence.website.com>, then upon login, the user lands on a page with the URL, <https://confluence.website.com/index.action>, and receives "You are not permitted to perform this operation." message.

How can I set it up so that users will always land onto the default page of a space? In this case <https://confluence.website.com/display/SPACE/Home>.

Noted that I have already changed the Site Homepage in Confluence Administration - Further Configuration to be the above "Space" space.


Answers:
author: repi
body: [@Dao Starita](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1940480)

In terms of logic, it cannot be otherwise.  
A call to the subdomain must lead to registration (registration with sso is a little different), because how does confluence want to distinguish otherwise personalized users from anonymous users.

Spaces that are released for anonymous users do not require a user check.

comments: author: Dao Starita
body: Users are required to login to access the Space and its pages so there are no anonymous users.

I need all users after login landing onto or seeing the <https://confluence.website.com/display/SPACE/Home> page. For licensed users, they see the Home page even when they log in from <https://confluence.website.com>. However, for unlicensed users, they get "You are not permitted to perform this operation." message when they log in from <https://confluence.website.com>.

I already set this "Space" to be the default space and "Home" to be the default home page/landing page.

Hence, I don't understand from Confluence perspective why unlicensed users could not see the Space's Home page.

PostgreSQL Vs MS SQL server for Jira 8.6
Asked by Vijay_Ganji:

We have a choice of staying on PostgreSQL database for Jira 8.6.1 or move to MS SQL server, which one do you guys prefer if given choice.


Answers:
author: LarryBrock
body: Hi [@Vijay_Ganji](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3942363)

If there is a choice, I always prefer the same platform (OS, Java, database, etc) the application provider uses for development. I call these tier one platform elements as they are most often what the provider's development and support staff are most familiar with. This frequently translates into better application stability and performance plus faster turn-around for support issues.

In this particular case

1. There are the the reasons above
2. There will likely be a significant license cost increase to move to MS-SQL
3. There will likely be a non-trivial amount of "administrator" time/cost increase to move to MS-SQL

Hope this helps and if it does, please click the "Accept Answer" button so others searching for this info see the "answered" flag in their search results.

Missing Undo Button
Asked by Alaina Coyle:

I don't have an Undo or Redo option on my Toolbar in Confluence. Am I missing how/where I can add this??


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Alaina Coyle](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3942325) !

As I understand, you need to have access to a Undo/Redo option within our Editor for Confluence.

Currently, there is no User Interface method of doing this. We can use keyboard shortcuts to achieve this:
> * **Undo** --- PC: Ctrl+Z, Mac: ?+Z
> * **Redo** --- PC: Ctrl+Y, Mac: ?+Y or Shift+?+Z

I was also able to find a request tackling this very need. You can check it here:
> * ++***[Include an 'undo' and 'redo' option in the new editor](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-58034)***++

A good course of action would be to vote and watch the request. Voting helps to give visibility to the report and watching it will keep you up to date with everything posted there.

Looking forward to your reply.

How to use the Server REST API to get inline comments from pages with attached PDF/HTML/Image files?
Asked by Michael Feher:

This solution is being worked through a secure connection with an internally hosted server. The inline comment ID can be seen through the html when viewing the page attachment and the comment through a browser, but I'm not able to identify the method needed to extract the content of the comment ID and any associated fields. I have noticed that the page comments behave in a similar fashion, though the content of these comments are readily available to collect with the Server REST API.

This is all in an effort to make the inline comments associated with page attachments easily viewable during a review process. (Without the need to dive into each attachment and view the comment threads individually)
