Unfortunately, Confluence does not offer this specific type of functionality. If you just want to organize information in a grid, you could use a Confluence table, but this doesn't offer updating of dynamic information.

However, there are a few  third-party plugins in the Atlassian Marketplace that offer Sharepoint connectivity that may have some of the functionality you're looking for. See some in the search results here.

There is also a feature request open with with our developers to provide Sharepoint list-like functionality in Confluence: CONFSERVER-54037. Feel free to vote and comment on this feature request to help give our developers more context around the suggestion (see also: Implementation of New Features Policy).

Thanks!

A SharePoint list is a container for information, similar to a very simple database or spreadsheet. Using a list is the most common way to manage information in a SharePoint site. In a list, data is gathered in rows, and each row is known as a list item.

when you wish to add dynamic information we updates list so that it will be easily reflected in page.

Hi Arjun!

Custom divs/Javascript

You can add custom divs and javascript onto a page in Confluence Server using the HTML macro. If you include the code you're using, I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can tell why it's not working as expected.

Cloud availability

Custom divs/styling is not available in Confluence Cloud, and there are no plans to add this in the near future (see Restricted functions in Confluence Cloud, CONFCLOUD-7629 – A secure HTML macro).

There are, however, third-party plugins that offer this functionality. You can search the Atlassian Marketplace and find plugins like...

* Contant Formatting for Confluence
* HTML Macro for Confluence Cloud

Sharepoint lists

I'm not familiar with Sharepoint lists. Could you describe the functionality you're looking for along with a screenshot of an example?

Thanks!
Zak
