Overview

If you're a project manager tasked with overseeing multiple projects at once, it may come in useful to have a one-stop dashboard to view important details and charts from those projects.

With a combination of the Reporting, Scaffolding Forms & Templates, Linking for Confluence, and Composition Tabs for Confluence apps, it is possible to be build such a dashboard for this use case.

By the end of this use case you should have a dashboard similar to the one below.

For the project manager to start using this dashboard, they only need to create some project reports by entering the project name in the text field and clicking the Enter Project Name button.

Ingredients

Confluence apps

You will need the following Appfire apps installed on your Confluence.

The following source code is shared using Confluence Storage Format - the XHTML-based format that Confluence uses to store the content of pages, page templates, blueprints, blog posts and comments.

For more information on how to use this source code on your Confluence, read the following article - How do I use Recipes that use the Storage Format with the Confluence Source Editor?
