A Confluence Database is a structured table that lives on a Confluence page and supports:
If you need advanced features, such as filtering, sorting, or complex multi-row reporting, consider these options:
Note: The Page Properties Report will treat each property name as a separate column.
By default, Confluence maps in the final report. The keys in your table become the column headers, and the values become the cell data. To get multiple rows in your report, you must use specific structural techniques. Method 1: The Multi-Page Approach (Recommended)
Use a clear header row in your Page Properties table so the report knows what to call each column.
Before diving into solutions, it's crucial to understand how the Page Properties and Page Properties Report macros work together.
To understand the solution, we must understand the mechanism. The Page Properties macro looks for metadata defined on a page. When the Page Properties Report macro scans that page, it maps the (first column of your properties table) to the Value (second column).
The Confluence Page Properties Report macro is a powerful tool for aggregating data across multiple pages. However, teams often get stuck when trying to generate multiple rows of data from a single source page.
By default, the report displays every metadata key it finds. In the Page Properties Report macro options, use the Columns to show field to explicitly list which headers you want to see, and in what order.
