Info

The number of attachments in the instance is displayed as 0 if :

  • The application has a new installation, and the scheduled job refresh for the attachments count is yet to start. To see the attachments count immediately, run the scheduler. For more information, refer to Scheduled Jobs; or

  • The scheduled job refresh has started, and the instance has no attachments.

...

Note

Administrators should be cautious when increasing the configuration limit, as this may lead to heavy Confluence usage and potentially result in degrading the performance of Confluence.

...

3. Click the Data Settings tab. The macro parameter Limit number of attachments to retrieve displays the admin-configured limit for the Global Configuration parameter Maximum attachments to process.

...

The macro considers the least of the value configured between the parameters Limit number of attachments to retrieve, and Global Configuration > Maximum attachments to process, to process the attachments.

...

Scenario 1: The administrator and the user does not change the default value.

Global Configuration:The administrator does not change the default value configured for the Global Configuration parameter Maximum attachments to process.

...

  • The Global Configuration parameter Maximum attachments to process and the macro parameter Limit number of attachments to retrieve have the default value configured as 1000. In this case, the macro considers the default value while processing the attachments.

  • The macro stops processing after the number of attachments found matching the Page filtering selection criteria reaches the default value of 1000. The Confluence page shows the processed attachments and their metadata as a table.

...

Scenario 3: The user provides a higher value than the admin-configured limit.

Global Configuration: The administrator has configured a limit for the Global Configuration parameter Maximum attachments to process.

...

Scenario 4: The user provides a lower value than the admin-configured limit.

Global Configuration: The administrator has configured a limit for the parameter Maximum attachments to attachments to process.

Macro browser input: The user enters a lower value for the macro parameter Limit number of attachments to retrieve than the admin-configured limit in the Global Configuration.

...

  • In this case, the macro considers the least of the value configured between the parameters, Limit number of attachments to retrieve, and Maximum attachments to process. The macro stops processing after the number of attachments found matching the Page filtering selection criteria reaches the least of the value configured.

  • For example, here, the macro considers the user-configured value for the macro parameter Limit number of attachments to retrieve that is 500. The macro stops processing after the number of attachments found matching the selection criteria reaches the value of 500.

  • The Confluence page shows the processed attachments and their metadata as a table.

...

Setting the Attachment Table macro limit for displaying the number of attachments is based on the below criteria:

  • The macro considers the least of the value configured between the parameters Limit number of attachments to retrieve, and Global Configuration > Maximum attachments to process, to process the attachments.

  • The processing stops after the number of attachments found matching the Page filtering selection criteria reaches the least of the value configured. The macro displays the processed attachments and their metadata as a table.

  • If the macro encounters equal or more attachments than the least value configured, the confluence page displays a warning message, or else the message is not displayed.
