Macro that display short summary of all releases on one page

[Illia Mozghovyi]

Hello, 

We have a Confluence space where we keep information about our releases. One space page contains information about one release. Name of the page is a release name (see Picture below). Details about each release like Customer, Location, Release Date and Description are displayed in form of table on a page (see Picture below).

We need some macro that allows showing summary information (Release Name and Description, see Picture below) of all releases on one separate page of the space. But Release Name and Description should not be “copy-paste” into the summary. It should be somehow retrieved from pages with release information.

Which macro can I use to display short summary of all releases on one page?

I think the Page Properties and Page Properties Report (please refer to "Columns to show") macros will help you to achieve this. These are part of the Confluence installation.

If these macros do not support all your use cases, you may have a look at the Document Properties Marker Macro and the Display Table Macro of the commercial projectdoc Toolbox (where I am one of the authors of). Here is a (maybe biased ) comparison of features.
