Add columns to Confluence search results
To add columns to Confluence search results, open Capable Search, select Select columns in the filter bar and tick the columns you want. Columns are grouped by the capability that supplies them. Drag a column header to move it, then save the search so the columns are kept for everyone who uses it.
#Before you start
You need | Why |
|---|---|
Capable Search installed | The app is part of Capable Search for Confluence and the Capable Suite. |
The capability for the column | Columns such as Approval Status or Words only appear when the capability that supplies them is installed. |
#Steps
Open Capable Search: select Capable Search in the space sidebar or the Apps menu (in the Suite, Capable, then Search).
Select New search or a saved search.
Select Select columns in the filter bar.
Tick each column you want and untick any you do not need.
Drag a column header to move it, or drag its edge to change its width.
Save the search to keep the columns. See Save a Confluence search as a report.
#What happens next
The table shows the new columns at once. When you save, the columns, their order and their widths are stored with the saved search, so search macros that use it show them too. Export uses exactly these columns.
