Team/Project dashboard
A dashboard is worth building in Confluence only if it stays current without anybody maintaining it. This page shows the macros that do that, arranged the way a real project page would arrange them.
#Where the project is
#Workstreams
One progress bar per workstream reads faster than a table of percentages, and each is a single number to keep up to date.
#Who is on it
Dragon Fruit
Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit known for its unique appearance and sweet flavor.
Rambutan
Rambutan is a juicy, hairy-skinned fruit native to Southeast Asia, offering a sweet and slightly acidic taste.
Durian
Known as the 'king of fruits', durian has a strong aroma and creamy texture that divides opinions.
#Next release
Current build: SHOULD HAVE, updated in place as the build moves.
#Live numbers
Web extraction pulls a single value from a web address that returns data (a JSON endpoint), so the dashboard shows a real number rather than one somebody retyped last month.
#Which macros this page uses
Section | Macro | Why that one |
|---|---|---|
Project phase | Progress tracker | One glance says where the work is |
Workstreams | Progress bar | One number each, faster to read than a table |
Team | Cards | Faces and links, not a list |
Next release | Countdown | Keeps the date in front of everyone |
Build state | Status badge | Sits inside a sentence and can be changed in place |
Live numbers | Web extraction | A real value, not a retyped one |
