Built in Confluence blueprints come with predefined index pages. These list all pages that were created with their respective blueprint in an overview. This exact result can be used by a combination of the Page Properties and Page Properties Report macros. They work together to show summary information from one page on a another page. |
Start by creating a new blueprint.
If you want to use an existing Page Blueprint feel free to just edit it. Anyway, you have to add the Page Properties Macro to your blueprint to create a table of parameters.
After you have done that you need to add a label to your blueprint. This is important since your index page will collect all the pages with the same label.
Adding a specific label to your blueprint is crucial. Without that label you can't generate overview pages. |
Now we want to make sure that all information that will be entered by users when creating a new page using your blueprint will end up on one single page. For that you need to create a new blank page and add the page properties report macro.
You can customize your index page as you please. Just make sure it contains the page properties report macro. |
The label you enter in the Page Properties Report macro must match the label you added in the blueprint. |
This is all you need to do to create an overview of all pages that were created using your blueprint.
Add the Create From Template above the Page Properties Report macro. This displays a button on the page that you can link to a predefined blueprint. |
To make sure your index page is easily accessible and visible to your users you can pin it as a space shortcut in the sidebar.
This is all it takes to have a dynamic list of all pages in one single page. All you need to do now is to create them using the blueprint that contains the Page Properties macro.
Please note that as of now not all field types such as labels or status are supported by the Blueprint Creator. Feel free to reach out to us to let us know what it is you want us to work on next. |
