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)
