Id like to be able to see a focused view of a databases in a confluence pages

[Daniel Park]

I wanted to use an embedded database view within a page instead of having a separate table but once I created the database recorded in the page it showed the full thing including all the editability, view selection etc. 

It would be useful I could select embed a database, select a view and have it show in a focused mode within that confluence page.

This would allow for more structured data while also presenting cleanly within a confluence page allowing me to keep multiple pages in synch with the underlying page.

If you think this is a good idea vote here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-79661

After creating this post @Anne Saunders highlighted that there is already a request to buid this feature.

Completely agree.  Just a “default view showing” doesn’t add much value unless you have a ton of views.  

the “only this view with no extra controls” is much needed.  

along with the missing REST API

Hi Daniel,

can you try this?

• Create a database
• Fill it with data
• Create a view, including the respective filter criteria
• Select the view (the tab at the upper bar) and use "..." to copy the link to the tab
• Select "Lock Structure"
• Click "Share" and restrict access to the database to person x
• Embed the database into another page
• There you should now see the right database, the right view, the table structure locked and editing restricted

Is this maybe at least close to what you are looking for?

That still has all of the other views and general database controls that are not wanted.

I will point out that for an individual record, it does get rid of all the extra controls, which is good.  Just an inconsistency in implementation paradigms.  The single record view is more akin to what he described wanting for a single view rather than the single record.

[Becker_ Rene]

I understand.

OK - it was worth a shot :-)

You're not the only one to ask for this. Have you voted for this work item? https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-79661

[Daniel Park]

Thanks for the pointer,  I've now voted. 

[Becker_ Rene]

Did too

While you are on it, maybe you want to give this a vote too: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-79584 :-)

Yes, this would be really valuable to improve the readability; and is limiting my usage of confluence databases.  I'm considering going back to Excel...

[Anne Saunders]

I really hoped Databases would get us out of Excel for a couple things, but now I'm just maintaining the same data in more places :/
