CQL filters in Document States report macro
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
The CQL Filter parameter of the document states report macro now accepts Confluence CQL format functions, keywords, and can include OR and comparison operators (from v.6.16.7+).
Using CQL filters in the document states report macro can create focused bespoke reports your users and teams. For example
report dynamically on the pending approvals for the current day or a time period prior to the current day
report on workflow information filtered to the current user viewing the page with the report macro
The only workflow CQL searchable fields are those listed in Comala Document Management CQL Rest API page together with the Atlassian Confluence CQL fields.
Using CQL filters in the document states report macro
Simply add the CQL format filter (see - Confluence CQL keywords) to the CQL filter dialogue box in the document states report macro editor.
Prior to v6.16.7 CQL filter in report macros must be in the form FieldName:Value
For example, the following pages all have the label hr in a space.
But our added CQL filter will cause the report to display only the page(s) that have both the label hr and were created by the user matilde.
You can use functions in the CQL, for example, the following includes an OR function.
This will display content that has either
the label hr
OR
has been created by the user matilde
Filters are additive. If there are any logical clashes then no results will be returned.
Other compatible CQL filters include
contributor=username
creator=username
label=labelname
title=pagetitle
Currently, date based CQL filters are not compatible with the document states report macro.
