Capabilities of the Scaffolding Macros
The Scaffolding macros are available in an add-on distributed by Service Rocket, whose website explains that Scaffolding gives a Confluence instance the ability to do the following:
- Create forms to fill in
- Collect and display data
- Manipulate and evaluate data
- In conjunction with the Reporting macros (not installed on the NCI Wiki), create reports from data
- Using live-templates, create pages with forms and data; these forms and data will change dynamically wherever the template is used, each time the template is updated.
Service Rocket organizes the macros in a hierarchy as follows;
- Tables (table-data)
- Templates (live-template)
- Fields
- date-data
- eval-data
- excerpt-data
- get-data
- group-data
- hidden-data
- number-data
- repeating-data
- set-data
- text-data
- Lists (list-data)
- label-options
- content-options
- list-option
- attachment-options
- user-options
- Attachments (attachment-data)
