Simple dashboard using metadata-matches macro

Overview

A simple use is to add multiple versions the metadata-matches macro to populate a table, creating a dashboard of information from a group of pages.

In our example, there are individual pages for a project. Each project page has

  • an assigned project lead held as a metadata value

  • the number of hours completed by the project lead for each month as metadata value

Creating the dashboard

Three initial metadata-matches macros are used:

  • the metadata value name for the macro is Project Lead.

  • the Project Lead values for each metadata-matches macro are AlanaHisbiscus and Cyclamen

 

Each individual macro would each display for the named project leader, the number of project pages where the Project Lead value matches their name.

A copy of each macro can be configured to add the metadata value-name for the calculation.

This would sum the values of the Feb Hours metadata on the matching pages where Alana is the value for Project Lead.

A copy of each of the macros with the value-name can be made for each project leader and the function option amended in the macro editor to show average

These can be added to a simple Confluence table:

The page display is a simple dashboard for the project lead hours for February.

Multiple versions of the metadata-matches macro can also be added to the Confluence chart macro to visualize and present the collated data from each report.
