Table Template for customising table columns

The available template are as follows:

Available Template Terms

Result

Available Template Terms

Result

comments

Shows number of comments on page

creator

Shows creator of page / file

labels

Shows all labels on page

type

Indicate if item found is an attachment / page

url

Indicate the url to space where page is located / page where attachment is located

version

Shows latest available version for file / page

When provided incorrectly, only correct templates will be used

E.g. For template “title, spaces, modified, labels”

  • “spaces” is incorrect (should be space)

  • Results will only show table with table headers “title, modified, labels”

E.g. For template “titles, spaces, label, types”

  • None of the template terms used is correct

  • Default template will be used to display results (“title, space, modified”)

 

Template Header for customising table headers

To allow users to customise table headers, a template header field is provided. Users can rename template values to a more suitable value for the results table they are creating.

In the example shown above, changes to template header are as follow:

  • Creator → Owner

  • Modified → Last Modified

Headers defined incorrectly will result in default template being used (over-defined / under-defined).

E.g. For the template “title, type, creator, modified” , if header “title, type, owner” is defined

  • Only 3 headers are defined for 4 template (under-defined)

  • Header defined will be ignored, template “title, type, creator, modified” will be used as header instead.

If no header is defined, template “title, type, creator, modified” will be used.
