Creating an inventory database provides you with a variety of useful data to keep track of your assets or items in stock. Having detailed inventory reports helps you spot trends, maintain adequate supplies and spot potential problems.

In this example, we will build an inventory database using Scaffolding.

Each inventory item will be stored as a page, share the same format, layout and sections. Your team members will use the template to record new inventory items. Confluence users can then access the inventory record to get information. You can also make changes to the template in the future, which will automatically update all the pages your users have created.

Sample Use Case

For you as as the administrator you want to be able to create a template that can be edited with one click and change reflected on every page using the template.
Final Outcome	You have setup an Inventory Database space, then created a live template for the Inventory form with Scaffolding Cloud using key fields you created using Field Group macro. End Result :
