But why should you use it?

The Display Metadata Value macro offers a great way to integrate specific Metadata values directly into your page content, enhancing visibility and accessibility.

  1. Easy Integration: Select the metadata field you want to display and insert the metadata value anywhere on the Confluence page without any restrictions.

  2. Customization: With the ability to choose from various Metadata fields associated with the Content Category assigned to the page, you can tailor the displayed information to meet specific requirements.

  3. Batch Editing: Update key metadata values across multiple locations in the same Confluence page simultaneously, avoiding repetitive edits and ensuring consistency.

Use Cases:

  • Process Documentation: Display the process owner, location, or title directly within the documentation, providing users with essential information.

  • Reporting: Integrate key metrics directly into performance dashboards for real-time tracking.

  •  Project Management: Embed metadata values like project milestones directly into Gantt charts or timelines; Allow team members to easily see up-to-date information and update relevant project details without clutter.
