Divya Sriram Atlassian Team

Hey @Ash Roberts , great question! We've got some examples on our page here, and if you go down, you can click through examples for different teams https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/databases We've seen customers love using databases for: * RFCs (request for comments) for eng teams * Quarterly and yearly…

Hey Chris - sorry can you clarify if you are * linking Confluence pages to your Jira issues IN JIRA * or are linking Jira issues IN your Confluence database? In the most recent Beta experience, you are able to link to both the entire database or a simple entry. A link to the database can be grabbed from the url from a…

Hey Henrik - we're actually in the process of building out better integrations with Jira so that you can query from a Confluence database to select multiple Jira issues and the specific details of that Jira issue you want synced. 

Hey @Stefan Froehlich and @Lucy Newton - a couple customers have mentioned something similar. We are currently focused on building the foundations of creating and editing a database but it is on our longer term roadmap!

Hey @Heike Fischer - we're working on that too!

Hey Filip - this is a good question, let me check with my team on how this should work. 

Hey @Lucy Newton and @Anne-Sophie G - these are great use cases for databases, thanks for sharing. Totally hear you that global search by content would be useful here - we don't have a timeline to share on when we're able to build that out but when we do, we'll definitely share!

Hey @Nate - great question, we do not have the ability to perform simple math functions like sum/average/count, but that is on our roadmap! @Tami Dubi - interesting, let me take a look at what's going on with the community team. 1. That's right, the intention is to respect the column name even if you wanted to change the…

Hey folks, the wait is over - we’re excited to let announce that Confluence databases is officially in Beta! All site admins who want to try databases can opt in into the experience from settings. Can’t wait to see everyone try out databases. Join us on our private community group for Confluence Databases to tell us how…

Yes Chris, we're going to create and pin a post to showcase a list of the features and bug fixes we roll out! Keep a look out for that soon

Hey Filip - as of today, we don’t have a way to separate pages and database settings and databases have to be enabled across all spaces in a site

Hey @Jesús Rafael Martínez Jiménez - can I get some clarification. Are you asking how to basically query information from a database so that you can use that information in Jira? Would you be able to give me a concrete example I can use to understand? What information would you want to query from a database and how are you…

Hey @Chris , this is an interesting use case - we're adding it to our backlog to explore. I'm curious to understand the advantage of having columns be horizontal while your entries that you add are vertical. Would you run into the issue of having to horizontally scroll a lot to see all your entries because the width is…

Hey Alan, this feature should be releasing soon!

Hey @Filip Callewaert - no, we're working hard to migrate content from our users using the Alpha version to the Beta experience

Totally - that's on our longer term roadmap Filip, to include AI capabilities to help bring insights from content stored in databases!

Hey folks, great question. We have permissions for databases where you can configure just a set of folks to have edit access to the database, leaving it as essentially view only for everyone else. Would this help keep the database collaborative for those with edit permissions while leaving it as view only for everyone…

Hey Chris - there's definitely something wonky going on here, thank you for sharing. And it looks like a couple other folks are experiencing this too. 1. For the view that's not loading (with an entry link condition): we've got a ticket to look into this from our team. We'll let you know when this is fixed. 2. That's a…

Hey @Jonathan Prisant - this is Divya Sriram the Product Manager for Confluence databases! Totally hear you, and we are working on making databases more effective for Confluence users as quickly as we can. At a high level, we're really excited to be working on the following in the future: * stronger integrations with 1P/3P…

Hey Chris - thanks for your questions! At the moment, databases in our most recent Beta experience can be searched for by title only in our global search. We're looking into adding search by content (entries in a database) in the future.

Love the list Filip - finally got a chance to respond to all of them. Responding to a few here: * immediate saving of changes: yes!! we've already rolled this out in our Beta experience * bugs on sorting of dates: we'll look into this when our team has bandwidth * a formula field: curious to know if quick calculations at…

You and me both Filip - we've been brainstorming on how we can leverage AI to both transform existing content into a database and take content out of a database into whereever else you may be working. We want to nail some of the foundations of database functions first, but we're thinking about it!

This is definitely something we've run into as database users ourselves. We should be able to create a row from...anywhere, so that's what we're building out soon: the ability to add a row and column where you are in your database!

That's a really great idea Filip. Given that databases are a content type (like pages, and whiteboards), it makes sense that you'd want to be able to filter them in some way. Today (in the latest Beta experience), you can filter by * type of content type in Confluence * edited/created by * space * last updated But you…

Hey Filip - thanks for your patience. We've been actively working on supporting exactly those things you've outlined. Our Beta experience will shortly have the ability to create a database, create an entry, and showcase a value!

Hey @Keith Sottung - thanks for sharing, our team is looking into this.

I like the way you're thinking Filip! Tell me more about where this imagination might be helpful directly in the ways you work today, would love to learn

Hey Valeria, thanks for reporting this - I've shared it with our team to figure out what's happening.

Reporting this issue to the team as well Tara - if you're able to provide a screenshot or video of what you see and share here, that'd be helpful as well! Thanks

Hey Filip, thanks for reporting this and your patience. Interesting, let me check with my team to understand why the time stamps of the most recent docs are sandwiched between older ones.
