Customized User List Macro
Create customized lists of users
The Customized User List Macro enables you to display a list of users filtered by a profile field value. For example this macro can be used to create a simple phone book for your department (see first image) or to list your team members on your team homepage or similar use cases, where you want to display a custom list of users. You are also able to configure which profile fields are shown in the list. The user list will only show people that have access to confluence.
The second image shows the configuration options for the macro:
Search Options
- Choose the profile field you want to filter on (e.g., "Location").
- Enter the value you want to filter for (e.g., "Wiesbaden").
- Add as many profile fields as you want to narrow your search request.
Display Options
- Displayed profile fields
Choose the profile fields you want to be displayed as additional columns in the list (e.g., "Phone" and "Position"). The users avatar and name are always displayed. - Ordered by
Choose the profile field by which the list will be initially ordered. You can still order the list manually by clicking on the headlines in the table view.
The given example will display a list of all users whose profile field "Country" has the value "Deutschland" and will include their avatar, name, phone number, position, branch, country and e-mail.
Due to security reasons, you can only configure visible fields since release 1.11.1.
Use Confluence Query Language for more flexibility
The Customized User List macro gives you now an expert mode where you can use the Confluence Query Language (CQL). CQL allows much more complex searches for users. To use CQL just switch the "Filter mode" to "Expert mode" and enter the CQL search string. For that you need to know the keys (this are not the names you gave to the fields!) of available Linchpin User Profile fields. You can find all available fields directly in the macro configuration, just click on "CQL help".
CQL Search examples:
exact match | cup.location="New York" |
---|---|
contains | cup.location~"York" |
contains with operators | cup.department~"Marketi*" cup.department~"Mar??ting" |
contains any of list | cup.department in ("HR", "Marketing") |
contains none of list | cup.department not in ("HR", "Marketing") |
concatenation | cup.location="New York" AND (cup.department="marketing" OR cup.department="hr") |
The following table shows which operators can be used with witch field types
CUP Field Type | = | != | ~ | !~ | > | >= | < | <= | IN | NOT IN | AND | OR | NOT | ( ... ) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
