Using databases - views definition per page and size settings

[AZOR1984]

Hello,

we have recently started using databases. This is amazing feature,. absolute lovely. However I have two questions on usage and limitations.

1) You create a database which is somehow special confluence page that works well, but when you want insert it into a page as embedded database window ->  I am pretty much fine with width and option to set width as wide as I want, how about height,  that does not seems to be possible to set ? That makes it pretty much not useful as together with top page, bottom header etc  it is about 30% of efficiency as page is mostly empty showing only a few rows - can I hardcode / fix / set minimal height of embedded database part ?

2) Am I missing something in filters? - you can create a database and specify view with filters (btw amazing) However is it possible to embedded database into multiple confluence pages but have everywhere different filters (but not have them everywhere)

For example: I have a database with tasks and would like to have a view for all opened tasks (a column tag) but then I would like to have separate pages where I am reading from the same database but would like to have a filter on project (another column tag) only.  As of now I have the view definition everywhere. Which would not work if you would have lets say 10 reads from the database with 10 different filters and want to project them on 10 different pages but dont want to see another 9 


Thank you so much

Hello @AZOR1984,

Glad you're enjoying Confluence Databases! Thank you for sharing this feedback.

Adjustable height

We're investigating the possibility to customize the height of embedded databases in the feature request below:

Specifying a filter in embed view

If I understand you correctly, you want to link to a specific view in embed? You can use the link to the view which will show that view, as I have done below:

Can you help me understand what you mean when you say you don't want to have the view everywhere? Do you mean you want to hide the view on the other pages?

Looking forward to hearing back from you!

Take care,

Hello Shannon,

thank you much for you support and I very much appreciate your reaction. 

Adjusting hight - thank you I will check the RFC .

The second part 

If you do exactly what you did - take a link and copy paste in new confluence page it will happen exactly what happened to you on your screenshot - you copy view FY24 it is kind of default more than anything else you can see other view on second picture as well - Namely : All entries, Most Recent First. 

I would like to link just one view - have just one view (or ideally subset) not all the views defined on the database.

P.S. I am sorry for long response I have just noticed I got here your response.

Vaclav.
