Personalizing the Dashboard in Confluence Cloud

[Lisa Marschner [Communardo]]

Hello,

is there a possibility to customize the Dashboard in Confluence Cloud in a way that every user only sees his / her OWN content? For example, if there are users from different locations and after the login they would like to see only content which is relevant for them / for their certain location. My idea is to create some spaces for the different locations and then personalize them - in a way I just don't know yet. Does anyone know how to configure this use case?

Thank you in advance.

Regards, Lisa

It depends on what you mean by relevance?

You could use space (or page) permissions to hide content as a way of personalising content, but that's not always an ideal approach.

There is also the Recently Updated Macro ,which has an option to show content from the user's favourite spaces - but you users will need to select them for this to work.

Labels is another way of aggregating content. However, in Cloud you have no easy way out of the box of making use of this in a default dashboard - users would need to navigate to the right page or space for different feeds.

It would be possible to build something to do this with labels - my News for Confluence Cloud app https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215732/news-for-confluence-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview is essentially a proof of concept for what you need, but it needs a mechanism to personalise to individual users.

Another option to consider is the Visibility app https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/202/visibility-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview but it could be fiddly to implement if you have many "relevance" options.
