Intact my filter result in confluence

Question

Hello Folks,

Background: I need one help. I am using one of my 'student' table in confluence which has some basic data like Name, Class, Section, Marks in %age, Stream etc. I have used the table filter macro to view results in real time using appropriate filters.

Question: After I apply my filter, I want to freeze it so that it is visible to all users and even after page refresh the filters are intact. For example, I want to see only those students who have scored between 60% to 75% and with stream 'Science'. Then I want to freeze this filter so that this same result is visible to all confluence users, even when the page is refreshed.

I have used table filter macro and inside this, I have these options (as shown in the screenshot). Please help.

Hi @HQRAZAHS ,

I see exactly what you’re aiming for applying a filter once and having that “view state” persist for everyone, so that when colleagues open the page they immediately see the same filtered results without having to reapply filters.

Our team at Simple Tables for Confluence is currently working on a POC that would do just that. The idea is that you could:

* Apply filters directly in the table view.
* Save that filtered view so it becomes the default view for all users.
* Optionally, even have multiple saved views for different audiences (e.g., “Science – 60% to 75%” or “Top performers”).

Once the data is in Simple Tables, you’d also have access to calculated columns, grouping, and footer totals — meaning you could not only filter the students but also calculate aggregates (e.g., average marks for that filtered group) or instantly compare across streams.

We’re hoping to have an early test version ready soon. Would you be interested in trying it out and giving feedback? Your use case is exactly what we have in mind for this feature.
