Searching by status in Confulence

[Magdalena Kaczyńska]

Dear Confluence users, 

Do you know if is it possible to list/search pages by status, which is set on that page ( with standard option STATUS)? 

[Levente Szabo _Midori_]

Confluence page status has evolved a lot lately, but the built-in status solution is still pretty limited (to 5 statuses).

There are dedicated apps solving for better Confluence page status and content lifecycle management. One of these solutions is Better Content Archiving for Confluence which allows you to use custom statuses (15+), then display and find Confluence pages by status in a Content Status Overview:

Page statuses update automatically based on your rules, or can be updated manually by quick actions!

Read more on quick actions in the Documentation >>

(Please note that Better Content Archiving for Confluence is a paid and supported app and I'm part of the team developing it.)

Hello @Magdalena Kaczyńska ,

Handy Macros for Confluence can help you with this use case. Use the connection of its Handy Status with the page label. Once you update the status, the label is also updated. After that, you can click the label and see all the pages with a particular status.

Magdalena,

Which macro are you using to set your page status? We have a Status Macro which is simply a label that you can use within tables. Is this the one you're using or are you using some other method?

Shannon,

Thanks for your answer. I am using Status Macro, but I can not see possibility to list it with a Macros: Label List, Content by Label ( If I write in space Label: status, I have got notification: 

There is no content with the specified labels

Have you got any idea of resolving that problem?

Magdalena,

In the Content by Label macro, it's looking for labels on pages, and not status macros.

You might be able to accomplish this using a combination of page labels and the Page Properties Report macro. Maybe have a look at that macro and see if you could work with it to meet your needs?
