Using Page Properties Report

Pro Tip - Use Confluence’s Page Properties Report to quickly overview all exported Documents!

All exported pages come with a label: glass-jira-project-documentation and a hidden page property macro with the most important data of your project.

After you have exported some pages with Glass, create a new page in your Confluence and insert Page Properties Report macro, with the following settings (only the label is necessary, eg. you can create cross-space overview).

When the macro is inserted, this page becomes an automatically updated page with all your project configurations. You can easily overview project complexity by comparing workflows, issue types, and People in the project.
