How do I get embed a Confluence Database on a page and make it look neat and clean?

Marko Malmberg October 25, 2024

I have a Confluence Database and I would like to embed filtered cards on a page in Confluence. I am struggling to find a way to do this without showing an awful mess to the users. When I embed the database, the view is mostly cluttered and less actual content.

I want to show (green box in the picture): Filtered set of cards only and nothing else

What do I get: Database name in big font, all the views, settings for the view, possibility to search, possibility to enter new entries. All of this unnecessary in this context.

How do I make that look nice and clean or is that currently even possible?

Hi @Marko Malmberg and welcome to the Community

When embedding a DB using the Embed DB macro, you can narrow down the scope of what you want to embed.

The embedded DB will look like this

This solution is somewhat limited and may require refactoring a database but it's likely the only way to declutter an embedded DB.

No, sorry, this is not it. I still want the view filter to apply so that the list of cards consists of cards where status = In progress.

Your solution seems to suggest I would pick and choose one entry at a time.

Yes, that is correct.

There was a similar question here on the forum recently (last week I think) so this is something that's clearly in demand and worth logging a feature request with Atlassian.

Right. I would be happy to log a feature request, but I don't seem to be able to log any suggestions for Confluence Cloud in jira.atlassian.com. Only Confluence Data Center seems to be on the list.

Well, I learned something new

"the option to create a suggestion ticket is possible only by the Atlassian Support team"

I'm not sure if this is true for Cloud only but ...

Just type in the basics and if you scroll down there's an option to open a chat. I got a live agent response in about 20 seconds.
