Getting date stamp to parent page for child page date updates

Question

Hello- I have a parent page with many child pages and I used this parent page for weekly reporting. Any updates made on child page will capture on parent page so I all I need to do is copy the contents from parent page to reporting templates and do weekly reporting.

But since there are many peoples working on child pages, I have to reach out everyone to make sure their updates are done. To save my time and follow ups with peoples, I am thinking that if I can add a "date stamp" colum to the parent page and get updates from child page, means who ever make updates on child page I need to get the date of updated as well. Is it possible?

Please advise. Thank you!

Hi @Finn ,

If you work with multiple-row tables that you need to collect from child pages into one master report, we can suggest trying our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app and its Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros.

Besides the creation of the combined report, you'll be able to show such meta data as "updated" and "last modifier".

And you may even filter the report based on the "updated" date and see what pages are out-of-date.

Hope it helps your case.

Thanks @Billbailey, and sorry how do I know which version I am using?

Hello @Finn. If you are on the server version and are capable of writing user macros, yes you can get that info.

If you are on the Cloud version, I think your options are limited.
