metadata-table macro
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
The metadata-table macro produces tabular reports of metadata from matching pages in a two-dimensional matrix format.
For the two-dimensional matrix:
the X-axis is a value that must exist in metadata tags in at least two other pages
the Y-axis is a value that must exist in metadata tags in at least two other pages
The cells of the tabular report are the values of the metadata value that exists on the pages. Again this must be present for at least two of the pages.
Parameters
Parameter | Required | Default | Notes | Version |

|
| Metadata value name that will populate the cell body of the table that must be present in at least two of the pages. | ||

Usage
To retrieve the values for of pages with a particular metadata for the table X-axis and Y-axis, choose the Metadata table macro from the Confluence macro browser:
In the macro editor, add the metadata value names for each of the X Value, Y Value and the Value that will be used to populate the cells of the table body.
In the example, the macro is displaying the Jan Hours metadata value recorded for each of the Project Lead metadata values. The Y Value field identifies the name of the app.
The macro returns one value for each of the table cells for each page. Using multiple values of the same metadata on a page will return inconsistent results as only the value will only be returned for the first metadata encountered.
Reference Markup
{metadata-table:Atlassian Product,Name,Installs}The macro will retrieve the Installs metadata values for the child pages of the current page.
These are displayed in tabular form for matching pages in a two dimensional matrix.
The matrix is created using the other metadata names:
Product Namewith values of Confluence and JiraNamewith values for each of the apps.
Each entry in the matrix is from the page with the metadata values in corresponding header row (x-axis) and header column (y-axis) cell of the table.
