How to display Confluence children pages in table view?

[Cindy]

Is there a way to display Confluence children pages in a table.

For example,  I have subpages a, b and c, and want them show in a table with page name, author and creation date.

Thanks.

Hi @Cindy 

This is a good use case to use the Page Properties and Page Properties Report macro, which work together to enable you to show summary information from one page on another page.

To use this macro, you need to add a Page Properties macro on your subpages, and then you can add a Page Properties Report macro on another page, where you can display the information. The only additional thing you will have to do here is to add page properties macro on all child pages from where the information needs to be pulled in. Hope this helps.

Hi, this is really one awesome solution! Although it will take some effort to add page property to each page, but the display is exactly what I need. Thanks for your information!

You are welcome. Yes these macro's will serve the purpose. Please mark the answer as accepted if it was helpful. 😊

Until you run into "maxClauseCount is set to 1024"

So, would still be good to know how to create table from child pages, so we could use table filter.

Currently if their are wildcard searches, we could exceed the maxClauseCount and this is a limitation of lucene. There's a suggestion raised with Atlassian on this - [CONFSERVER-18824] Make the maxClauseCount configurable - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

You can filter data populated in Page Properties report via 'Table filter and Charts for Confluence' plugin. Refer this video -Page Properties Report with Table Filter and Charts for Confluence - YouTube
