Simple dashboard using metadata-matches macro

Overview

A simple use is to add multiple versions the metadata-matches macro to populate a table, creating a dashboard of information from a group of pages.

In our example, there are individual pages for a project. Each project page has

  • an assigned project lead held as a metadata value

  • the number of hours completed by the project lead for each month as metadata value

Creating the dashboard

Three initial metadata-matches macros are used:

  • the metadata value name for the macro is Project Lead.

  • the Project Lead values for each metadata-matches macro are Alana, Hisbiscus and Cyclamen

 

Each individual macro would each display for the named project leader, the number of project pages where the Project Lead value matches their name.

A copy of each macro can be configured to add the metadata value-name for the calculation.

This would sum the values of the Feb Hours metadata on the matching pages where Alana is the value for Project Lead.

A copy of each of the macros with the value-name can be made for each project leader and the function option amended in the macro editor to show average. 

These can be added to a simple Confluence table:

The page display is a simple dashboard for the project lead hours for February.

Multiple versions of the metadata-matches macro can also be added to the Confluence chart macro to visualize and present the collated data from each report.
