Configure Sidebar

Jason Turner

Using Confluence OnDemand I would like to configure the hierarchy of the pages in the sidebar.

I know how to move pages in the hierarchy but the categories are limited by the page templates. For example. Currently my templates consists of "meeting notes", "files" and "product requirements". I create a fair number of pages uses the "blank page".

I can put the new page in either "meeting notes", "files" or "product requirements", however I would like to create my own tree branch (or category). Is the structure restricted by template type? If so that sucks. I have tried the space them "documentation" and it seems to have the same restrictions.

Please advise.

After some additional research I was able to better customize the sidebar and the corresponding page(s) in the main panel to the right of the sidebar. Perhaps I wasn’t clear in my original question/post. I wanted to recreate the same sort of behavior as the "meeting notes", "files" and "product requirements" links. I was able to do this by creating starting with a blank page and using either the “Children Display” macro and the “Content by Label” macro. I then added the new page to the sidebar, thus recreating the same sort of behavior as the "meeting notes", "files" and "product requirements" links

I also found a bug in the Content by Label macro https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-29236
