Metadata for Confluence Cloud now offers the Single and Multi-user field type. Now you can easily assign a Confluence user(s) as metadata values which makes collaboration quick and easy by allowing you to see who is working on a specific page(s). When creating a content category i.e. “Product” (as can be seen in the gif below), it is just as easy to set users who have site access as a metadata value. Thus further transparency to all working on the wiki pages.
Let’s take a look at how it works and how to set it up
Steps by the Admin:
- Create a user field type;
- Define if the users can select a “Single user” or, Multi user” in that field;
NB: Once the “Multi user” field type has been defined it cannot be changed to a “Single user” field type.
Steps by the User:
- One or multiple users can be selected in one field(according to what has been defined by the admin for that field);
- Start typing in the user field, and suggestions for users will show up (with a profile picture included);
- Select multiple users in the user field, they will be shown in the same order as they were entered;
And here is the view which can be seen once “Single user” or “Multi user” fields are defined
Create great reports…easily
