Combine "Teams" with Database

[Cassandra Fitzgerald Medley]

In Confluence I've built a Database for all of our engineering department. It consists of each person, their team, and role, among other items.  I've created a filter view that for each team.  Each team has their own space in confluence, so I then embed a filtered card view for that team into their home page.

With the new Teams feature in Jira, there is a location in which you add team members to that team's page.  Managing the team members for each team page seems like it could be managed thru a database, so that you aren't having to do double duty with maintenance.  Is it possible to have that team member location populate based on a database filter?  It seems like these two should be able to talk to each other?

Second question - is there a way to make the embeded databases look more appealing?  So it doesn't show the database outlines and filter options, etc., so I can make the card view look more like profile views?

Hi @Cassandra Fitzgerald Medley 

Welcome to Jira! While that would be a great idea these two were designed for separate tools, one for Jira and one for Confluence. While often these two tools eventually do share this type of functionality across systems in generally takes a couple of years just as with new functionality most companies develop, as most modern companies design MVP based products and then add from there.

In regards of view it would be the same, databases won't have many views yet. However for both of these I would recommend submitting feature requests: https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa

While Atlassian does use this as one avenue of feature requests, as these are both new products, making feature requests users can upvote on may help make more traction! However these are both reasonable ideas that could eventually be added!

Best,
