Autolist macros allow to display a list of documents dependent on a set of properties. This screencast shows how to use the Display Table macro to select all documents tagged with a given keyword.
This screencast shows a document collecting all documents tagged with 'X' of the wiki space in a list, using the Display Table Macro. After the collecting document has been created, the screencast adds another three documents tagged with 'X'. Finally the list contains all four documents (including the collecting document that has also been tagged with 'X'), without the collecting document being edited again. Therefore this list is called autolist: it collects all documents with a given set of properties at the time the document is viewed.
The feature is also called dynamic lists.
In the background this search is conducted with Confluence Search capabilities which are using Lucene. So every time the page is viewed, the search is executed to collect the latest hits.
