How to filter for page owner and page status?

[Dione Cannon]

I work with Page Owner and Page Status, this function would be extreme helpful if the filter functionalities in Space Content Manager and Analytics would be using it.

In Content Management, I can see the Owner, but I cannot filter by the owner, the status is not visible in this area.

In Analytics, I neither have the owner nor the status within the pages area, which again makes the status or owner useless and in the Users section you cannot see which pages they have created or worked on. 

I have seen some add-ons in the marketplace, but in my opinion, a report of space owners to hand out to the user to make an update and review occasionally should be part of the standard and not something you have to pay extra. 

Or did I miss something somewhere?

Thanks for your help or update.

Hi @Dione Cannon ,

Confluence Page Status and Content Management, are incredibly useful for ensuring efficient organization and management of content within your workspace.

If you want to build upon Page Status capabilities, I suggest trying out our app - Handy Macros for Confluence. For your case, you can try our Handy Page Status to:

• Create status options that work best for your workflow
• Reuse these status sets across pages for status consistency
• Make updates in one click from the page view mode
• Use Page Status Report to search for pages by multiple criteria, like status and its author

We have a blog post covering tips and tricks with Handy Page Status that you can check out.

You can try the Handy Macros for Confluence app on the Atlassian Marketplace for free to see if it works for you.

Have a good day!

Kind regards,

Dmitriy

In my opinion using the space owner's time to "nudge" page owners to review, confirm, update or archive their pages is wasting valuable resources on something that an automated mechanism could do better (and should do). The process should run continuously, silently and precisely in the background.

This is exactly why we created the Better Content Analytics and Archiving app. It automates periodic reviews and many other content lifecycle management use cases from status reports through custom notifications to auto-archiving.

Try it free for 30 days or more to see if it saves time and efforts for your space owners.

(The app is developed and supported by our team. It is free for 10 users!)

Hello @Dione Cannon

I agree with a previous answer that shifting the responsibility to the space admin about page ownership and handing out reports to users about their pages to review or update is probably not what you want.

A better option would be to either rely on Confluence automation or, for a more advanced setup, use dedicated apps to manage ownership and the content lifecycle.

For this purpose, you might check out Breeze, which is built to automatically identify pages to review and guide users through review and approval workflows. Besides this, it also provides extensive ownership features and data exports, which can be used for various purposes, e.g., identifying all pages without an owner or listing all pages of a particular owner, etc.

You can try Breeze for free in the Atlassian Marketplace and/or schedule a demo with me to see it in action.

All the best
Adrian from B1NARY (we are the developers of Breeze)

Hi @Dione Cannon and welcome to the Community.

Try Confluence Databases.

Here's the how-to that you might find useful.

Hi @Kristian Klima and thanks.

I am not sure what I did wrong, but "Database" does not exist on my version, or do I search in the wrong spot?

[Kristian Klima]

You probably don't have it enabled in the Confluence site settings.

It would be in Settings (the cog wheel in the top right corner) > Configuration > New Features.

You are actually my hero for today :-) it wasn't activated for all, not only for my space.

I had to activate it first to be shown in the space :-)

Will try it out now!

Thanks for your fast replies.
