Detailssummary Macro

The Detailssummary macro presents a tabulated summary of metadata that has been embedded on any page or blog post in the current Confluence space using the Metadata Macro. The Detailssummary macro collects metadata from only those pages or blog posts that have had a particular page label added to them.

The left-most column of the summary shows the name of each page or blog post with the specified label that contains metadata. Each page or blog post is presented on a single row and is hyperlinked to its appropriate destination page.

Each subsequent column represents a unique field within the selected metadata. The value associated with each metadata field on a page or blog post is presented in the appropriate cell of the summary table. For example, the following Detailssummary macro shows the pages in the current space that have metadata embedded using the Metadata macro, and also the 'test' label.
