projectdoc Toolbox
Organize spaces in hierachies with delegate and search spaces.
According to the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence spaces may be related in two ways:
- Delegate Space
- List of spaces to delegate documents on creation to. Also works as a search space for upstream spaces.
- Search Space
- List of spaces to include in downstream searches. Use
@all
to refer to all spaces.
The Delegate Space feature is used to define hierarchies. A space property defined in a delagate space is inherited to the delegating space. Also homepages for doctypes, not defined in the delegating space will be inherited from the next delegate space.
A space attached to the Search Space of a space enables macros selecting documents (for instance the Display Table Macro) to automatically include documents from the search space.
Resources
- Delegate Space
- Delegate spaces help to organize information that is used by more than one space. Resources may be delegated to other spaces. This includes the definition of space properties and providing homepages for documents of a given type.
- Delegate Space
- List of spaces to delegate documents on creation to. Also works as a search space for upstream spaces.
- Search Space
- Search spaces extend the search with projectdoc macros for a space per default on a number of other spaces.
- Search Space
- List of spaces to include in downstream searches. Use
@all
to refer to all spaces. - Space Property
- A property defined on the space homepage that takes effect on the space and delegating spaces.
- Doctype Homepage
- Provides a link to the document's type homepage.
More Features
List of features of the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence.
- Deep Links
- With deep links properties from referenced properties can be accessed for rendering.
- Default Locations
- Document types have their default location within a documentation space. These default locations are called 'homepages'. If authors create new documents they can send them to these default locations within a given space. Delegate spaces expand this feature to find the default location in associated spaces.
- Delegate Document
- Delegating documents transclude sections and properties from a delegate document. Information may be overridden.
- Document Types
- Document types allow to guide authors producing information of a given type. They also help readers to find the information they are looking for quickly.
- Dynamic Linking
- A document template that uses query macros enables documents to dynamically render links to a set of related documents. If new documents are added to the system that meet the query criteria, links to these documents are automatically added to the querying document. This feature is also called dynamic lists or automatic linking.
- Enhanced Transclusion
- Transclude more than one self-contained snippet and mark transcluded information for authors. The projectdoc toolbox allows multi-transclusion from one document and even several documents.
- Extensible by Spaces, Templates, and Macros
- Never be limited to the vendor's ideas: Create your own spaces, templates/blueprints/doctypes and macros based on components provided by the projectdoc Toolbox!
- Guided Writing & clutter-free Reading
- Do not clutter the view with non-information sections. Instead help authors writing identical structured content by the use of templates.
- Information Systems Integration
- Via a free extension information from remote information systems may be rendered on a wiki page.
- Live Templates / Impersonator
- Use the structure from a page and render it in the current page's context.
- Remote Control
- The projectdoc Toolbox supports rendering a page controlled by request properties. This way a URL controls the contents of a page.
- Rich Custom Document Metadata
- Authors may add any metadata to a document and use these in their queries. The metadata may be displayed or hidden. This way authors can use metadata target at the reader and metadata used for authoring purpose.
- Single Sourcing
- The projectdoc Toolbox provides doctypes and macros to support teams to modularize their documentation.
- Space Properties
- Properties may be set on space level and are inherited through space hierarchies.
- Variables
- Space and document properties may be used as variables with the projectdoc Toolbox.
- Web API
- To integrate projectdoc documents with remote systems the projectdoc Toolbox provides a REST API. This API is installed separately with a free extension add-on.
