Limiting keywords to certain areas

Nicolas Ridder

Hello,

 

I need help with the design of a protocol.

I have managed to insert a keyword on a page and that I can then use this keyword to later summarize the open tasks on a start page.

That's already good.

But - now I have many different topics in the log and there are also many different tasks for each topic and I would like these to be assigned to the area on the start page.

Is it possible to limit the keywords to individual areas and no longer to the entire page? So that I can then use several keywords for the page?

If so, how?

Thank you very much

Greetings

Nico

Hello @Nicolas Ridder ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! 😊

Great question! It sounds like you're working on a Confluence page where you use keywords to track tasks, and now want to group those tasks by topic area on your start page.

Currently, in Confluence Cloud, labels (i.e., keywords) can only be applied at the page level, not to individual sections or tasks within a single page.

You can try below steps check if that can help you.

NOTE - There may be options changed in new Confluence Cloud nagiations. Please refer to the official documentation Confluence’s new navigation is here!

 

Step-1: Organize tasks under headings + use the Task Report macro
If your tasks are already grouped under specific headings (e.g. ## Topic A, ## Topic , you can:

Use those headings to visually separate tasks by topic.

Insert a Task Report macro on the start page.

Configure it to pull tasks from your log page and optionally filter by assignee, label, or due date.

Insert the task report macro

Step-2: Use one page per topic + labels
To get cleaner summaries, many teams create one page per topic (e.g., Meeting Notes – Topic A, Project Logs – Topic and:

Apply topic-specific labels to each page (e.g., topic-a, topic-b)

Use Task Report macros on the start page that filter tasks based on these labels

This way, each Task Report macro corresponds to one topic area.

Use labels to organize content

Use labels to categorize spaces
