View database entries on another page

Question

I find the database feature in Confluence very interesting. I'm adding each employee's confluence profile to a database with various info about them, which team they belong to, and which customers they have responsibility for. This way we can see if an employee has too many responsibilities and redirect some work to others. That's all well and good.

But..

I cannot find a good clean way to display a database view on another page.

I can embed the database view into a page, sure.. But this is clunky. It's large and bulky, and should not have buttons a user can click to change the contents/view of the database. I want a cleaner way of displaying ONLY the contents of a database, not all the clutter around it.

Are there any plugins for Confluence that allows this?

I wish there were more ways to integrate database content into things like tables, or even graphics.

An update to this post.

I ended up switching to Airtable. The database feature in Confluence was too buggy, clunky, limited display options and had really bad performance (could barely scroll up and down in a table with 30 rows and 6-10-ish columns).

Thank you for the reply.

I tried that, but I found the views to be very clunky and take up too much space. They shouldn't need all those buttons and space around them when just embedding them into another page. There are also limited options to filter them and they load slowly.

you can set up different views showing the specific things you want to present - there is also an open ticket asking for the option to share just the views - so feel free to look at that and vote on it also - [CONFCLOUD-79661] Option to Restrict View Toggling for Embedded Database Views - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.
