Scrolling headers are called sticky table headers and will work in view mode only when inside a table. If they are inside another table or inside a macro or inside a page layout such as page properties, they will not scroll. They will also not work if you have a header column as opposed to a header row.
My columns are showing up as what I had entered in the options for the dashboard columns headings. However, the data is not showing up for remaining columns in the dashboard other than the first column with links to each project status page content.
Please could you tell me what have I done wrong or whats missing?
Sorry, due to privacy issues of the confluence content, I cannot provide access to the confluence site. However, if you can provide me steps on what could resolve the issue in bringing the data for other columns in the Portfolio dashboard page, that will be helpful.
Hi @Andrew Makar I seem to be experiencing some issues. I've created a table in the page properties macro and saved the page with a label. When I create a page properties report macro in a new page and search for the label I only get 'no content found'. I'm not quite sure what I've done wrong.
Can you post a picture of your Page Prorpeties Report Macro? If it is not seeing the label, did you also indicate the Confluence Space where the sub-page is found?
@Andrew Makar this is really helpful - thanks! One question - if these reports will be updated on a weekly basis, how do I only show the most recent report from each project? Do I have to remove the labels for old reports or is there a more streamlined way to do it? Thanks!
@each week, each PM or workstream leader would simply update their status report page in Confluence and enter a new date. Since the Dashboard report pulls this data from the sub pages it is always the latest status.
if you want to see older reports, you would look at the page history for that specific work stream.
One item we are still struggling with is to keep the header row of the table frozen at the top as we have many running projects. Without the headers it is nearly impossible to see which KPI's have which colors, when scrolling to the bottom.
@Andrew Makar it was more "specifics" like a step by step--create a new page, etc. Is there a way that I can dynamically update the table in the page properties or do I always have to copy and paste into the macro for each change? Thanks in advance!
Hi @[deleted] Thanks for the feedback. I actually finished my eBook providing more steps and instructions for 7 project management techniques. I'm working on a few additional enhancements.
I have followed the steps above and for my dashboard I have the projects down the left and titles along the top, but the details for each project are not displaying - what have i done wrong?
hi @Andrew Makar I think I`ve already answered myself... :)
however, I have another question. is it possible to sort results in the dashboard based on the position of the page?
so for example if I had dashboard as a parent page, and than page 1, page 2, page 3 and so on... and I would reposition them to be page 2, page 1, page 3. is there any possibility for this to be resulted in a dashboard sort?
@Andrew Makar thanks for reply! I understand, it would work based on naming... just wanted to check, if it is anyhow possible solely by position in the page structure.
Every time the Project page is updated (and status is changed) ... Do I have to copy/paste the table into the page properties? Can I get that to auto populate?
If you could please help me. I can't get the dashboard page to show the columns statuses. I have followed the instructions to the dot and still not working. Could you please let me know if you have encountered this issue and how to resolve it? I have tried no spaces after commas not spaces between words and nothing has worked for me. Please kindly help me.
