Table

Use Better Pages Table when readers need to explore structured data rather than only read a small static table. The source remains a rich Confluence table inside the macro body.

Release 13 example: the table contains fictional owners and readiness checks. Searching for Launch returns one of the three rows; clearing the search restores all three.

Build an interactive table

1. Insert Better Pages Table and add an accessible title.
2. Create or paste a Confluence table directly in the macro body.
3. Review the detected table and save the macro, then publish the page.
4. Use the published search, sortable headers, per-column filters, and Show/hide columns controls to explore the data.
5. Open Chart, select a chart type, X-axis column, and numeric columns, then select Add chart.
6. Open Table styles to adjust the shared appearance. Verify the saved table and charts as the intended reader.

The macro configuration contains the source table; chart and shared styling controls are available in the published reader.

Charts

You can add, remove, and reorder several charts. Available views include common bar, line, area, pie, doughnut, and radar presentations. Pie, Doughnut, and Radar use the first column as their category labels. Choose a chart only when it makes a pattern easier to understand than the table alone.

The synthetic example uses Bar, Workstream for the X-axis, and Checks as its numeric series. Reopening the published page retained the shared chart.

Reader interaction

Readers can search, filter several columns, change sort order, and show or hide columns. The table and charts keep independent horizontal scrolling on narrow screens, and charts include accessible text.

Good practice

• Use a real header row and short, unique column names.
• Keep numbers as numbers and use consistent units.
• Do not use color as the only signal in a chart.
• Verify empty results, combined filters, hidden columns, charts, and mobile width.
