What's missing in Confluence?
Confluence is a user-friendly tool for sharing unstructured data within its native environment. However, as our users have noted, some tasks can be challenging, such as:
Easily collecting and displaying structured data.
Creating and enforcing consistency in data handling, access, and presentation.
Capturing and delivering structured data across groups and teams.
Scaffolding addresses all these concerns and more.

What is Scaffolding?
Scaffolding is a powerful app for Atlassian Confluence that helps you manage structured data with editable forms and reusable linked templates. It includes custom macros that capture, store, and manage structured data on a Confluence page. This data can then be manipulated, evaluated, or compiled into reports.
