Add the list macro to a page

The list macro can be used on its own or together with other Comala List macros.

All Comala List app macros (except the list log macro) are added to the body of the list macro. Each added list macro defines a column displayed on the page.

Adding the macro

On a Confluence page with child pages:

Confluence sidebar parent page and child pages

Add the list macro to the parent page

Update the page to save the change

The macro displays a single-column list on the published page.

The macro displays the child pages of the parent page in a column.

The list macro default for the parent page is the current page (the page containing the list macro).

The macro can be edited to filter the display by content label.

List macro - macro editor

If no name is entered to the Name field in the Edit macro box, the default name for the list is the title of the page to which the macro has been added.

Further columns can be added to the list by

Editing the list macro in the macro editor
Including other Comala List macros within the body of this list macro
