Confluence page for Employee Continuing Education

Has anyone build a confluence page for employee education that you could share? i am looking to build out a page with links to courses regarding positions within our organization. I am looking for a great layout or any ideas.

body: Hi [@Trena Norcia](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3982349)

In case you are using Confluence Cloud you can check the [QC Read \& Understood for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219398/qc-read-and-understood-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview "https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219398/qc-read-and-understood-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview")app.

QC R\&U is a great app if you want to get employees training record and it's quite easy to use it too.

All you have to do is use the QC R\&U Site Overview report page (either using the "by user" or "by page" display) to see the progress of the reviews. The page is updated automatically.

You can check this article [https://support.qc-analytics.com/knowledge-base/how-to-get-employees-training-record/](https://support.qc-analytics.com/knowledge-base/how-to-get-employees-training-record/ "https://support.qc-analytics.com/knowledge-base/how-to-get-employees-training-record/") on our support website for more information about the usage of the app.

body: Hi Trena,

I suggest you have a look at the**[Courses and Quizzes - LMS for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214110/courses-and-quizzes-lms-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)** app.

With this LMS app, you'll be able to create training courses and quizzes right in Confluence.

You mentioned that you need a Confluence **page with links to courses for your colleagues**. The Courses and Quizzes app has participants dashboards where they can find all the courses they need to take. That means that you won't have to create a page manually and update it in the future.

Here're a few screenshots for you to have a look:

Space blueprints automatic attachments
Asked by Stijn Coussement:

Hi all,

We are looking into creating our own space blueprint. so far so good.

The only problem is that in one space we would like to generate a page with a file automatically attached to the page. like a picture that is shown on a page or a xls file for a calculation option, etc

My question is:

1) Is this possible?

2) How to do this? (I've searched the documentation but didn't found what I was looking for)

There are several ways we where exploring.

1) Attach the template to another space and when needed copy that attachment and add it to the new space/page. that would give us the option to change the template without rebuilding the space blueprint.

2) Add the template file to the space blueprint 'resource' folder and go from there. (That is more difficult as we should rebuild the blueprint if the attachment template changes)

Thanks

Kind regards

Coussement Stijn


Answers:
author: Stijn Coussement
body: I've just discovered that I can use attachments that are on other spaces. I don't know If that is a good way forward but at least It shows the wanted initial picture on my space home page.

What I do wish however is a way to make a copy of the attachment to the new space so that when a user does not have the correct user rights on the the other page he still sees the used image.

But I do not know how to do this from the Space blueprint....

"Codeblock" Makro don't copy leading blanks with copy/pase
Asked by Max Matissek:

When I create a new "Codeblock" Makro i will copy my codeblock in the codeblock-content.

In Confluence 7.5.2 everything works fine - leadings blanks/tabs where inserted.

In Confluence 7.7.2 and 7.7.3 the leadgins blanks/tabs will be removed. The code is "left-aligned".

Currently, the best course of action is to vote and watch the report. Voting for it helps to increase the issue visibility and watching it will keep you up to date with anything that may happen there.

The report has seen little action such as votes and comments. I would recommend you to share your experience there so the responsible teams can have a better idea about how this affects day to day usage.

Iterate over all Spaces
Asked by Florian:

Hi,

I want to write a user macro to get a public list of all spaces, not only the spaces the current user has access to. The official documentation mentions the $spaceManager (<https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-objects-accessible-from-velocity/>) but the requried method getAllSpaces() is marked as deprecated (<https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/javadoc/7.4.0/com/atlassian/confluence/spaces/SpaceManager.html>).

Is there another way to get a list of all spaces without running into trouble in near future? There is a hint in the documentation saying "since 7.3.0, use SpaceService.find(Expansion...) in plugins and SpaceManagerInternal in core where applicable". I tried but I can't get it up and running.


Answers:
author: Liza
body: Hi there, did you manage to find a way to work with the SpaceService.find() method in a user macro? I am running into the same problem...

comments: author: Florian
body: Hi @\[deleted\], unfortunately no.


author: Ansgar Nell
body: ```
int start = 0;
PageResponse<Space> pageResponse;
do {
    pageResponse = spaceService.find().fetchMany(new SimplePageRequest(start, start + MAX_RESULTS));
    for (Space space : pageResponse.getResults()) {
        // do stuff
    }
    start += MAX_RESULTS;
} while (pageResponse.hasMore());
```

MAX_RESULTS HAS TO be 500 because that's the limit for fetchMany. Where did I read that? Nowhere, it isn't documented and you have to guess it (fortunately I did it before production).

This method sucks, getAllSpaces() is much better, and to make it even worse, one method returns 1433 and the other 1423 for which should give the same results.

How to insert green light bulb panel

That specific design isn't available I don't believe.

The equivalent in Confluence Cloud is the macro "Success Panel". You can add this macro from the menu or by typing / and searching for it (in the New Editor). You can also click on a panel you've added to a page and choose between different styles/colours.

If you're still using the Legacy Editor on a page, the macro is called "Tip" and you need to type { to search for it on the page, or select it from the macro menu.

This might be too late for you but just in case we at Refined specialise in apps that drive UX improvements.

If it's strictly the space and pages you want to improve take a look at [Refined Toolkit for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216056/refined-toolkit-for-confluence-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

* Here is a public example of a customer using Refined Toolkit for Confluence Cloud: <https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/overview>

If you want to create a more 'website' look and feel for your Confluence and/or Jira where you can build multiple sites connected to the one Confluence/Jira instance, then look at [Refined for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221322/refined-for-confluence-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), or [Refined for Jira Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218481/refined-for-jira-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). These two apps exist in the same UI (hosted by Refined). In your case if you are just looking at improving Confluence you would only need Refined for Confluence Cloud or Refined Toolkit for Confluence Cloud.

Answers:

body: Hello [@sanjay.aggarwal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4071634) !

As I understand, you want to reduce all your notifications to mentions only. When you said notification, I assume that you meant notifications in the application itself (under the bell icon).

While we can not stop notifications from when someone shares content with you, you can severely reduce the quantity of notifications by stop watching pages and blogs. According to our documentation, these are the conditions that trigger a notification:
> * *Shares a page or blog post with you*
> * *Mentions you in a page, blog post, comment or task*
> * *Comments on a page or blog post that you're watching*
> * *Likes a page or blog post that you're watching*

Here is our document on notifications:
> * ++***[View your notifications](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/view-your-notifications/)***++

If you stop watching content, those notifications should stop popping up. Here is how we can manage the watched content:
> * [++***\[Confluence Cloud\] Watch pages, spaces and blogs***++](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/watch-pages-spaces-and-blogs/)

If you are talking about email notifications, here is our documentation on that as well:

How can I add a calendar to a Page in my Confluence Space?

Answers:

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

You would need an app to do this. Atlassian has the [Team Calendars for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/72307/team-calendars-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), but if you search the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=calendar) for calendar you will get other ones as well. I have only used Team Calendars in the past. If you do not want to get an app you could use the roadmap macro to show timelines and deadlines.

JIRA Links on Confluence Page
Asked by Nitin Bhatia:

Hi,

I'm created confluence page and a JIRA project for a system build. I've started a backlog of user stories and add a link to the confluence page for the requirements. However when I go to the page, I don't see the JIRA links up on the top next to the breadcrumb. Similar to the image below. I made sure the links between the two were setup correctly and I've given it a few hours since those links were established. Am I missing anything?

Bad Link (404 Not Found) in Project Status Template
