Page Properties and reports on a published site
Page Properties and Page Properties Report are how many teams run decision logs, project indexes and how-to catalogues in Confluence. They now render on a published Capable Site as they do in Confluence: a summary table on each page, and a report that gathers them together.
The report only ever lists pages that are on the site, so a published report never reveals a page you kept back.
#Page Properties
The properties table shows on the published page like any other table. If you ticked Hidden on the macro, the table stays off the page, but its values still feed every report that reads it.
#Page Properties Report
Report option | On a published site |
|---|---|
Title column heading | Supported. |
Columns to show | Supported. Names are matched without regard to case. Put a name that contains a comma in quotes. |
Sort by | Supported: the title, any column, or Modified (Last modified). Numbers and dates sort as numbers and dates. |
Reverse sort | Supported. |
Number of items to display | Supported. The default is 30, with Previous and Next buttons for the rest. |
Page Properties ID | Supported, to read one of several properties tables on a page. |
Show last modified, labels, comments count, likes count | Supported. Counts are taken when the site is published. |
With no sort chosen, the newest pages come first. Pages with an empty value in the sort column go last.
#Filters
Filter | Supported |
|---|---|
Labels | Yes: label = x, label in (x, y), and several combined with AND. |
Space | Yes: currentSpace() or a space key. |
Content ID | Yes. |
Anything else | No. The report shows a note on the published page instead of a table. |
A report needs a label filter. A report with no label filter lists nothing on the published site.
#A few things worth knowing
A report lists published pages only. A page excluded from the site, or in a space the site does not publish, never appears.
In a staging preview the report shows a note, because the list of published pages is not final until the site goes live.
Comment and like counts are a snapshot from the last publish, not live numbers.
