Confluence
Task Overview for Confluence
A task report across all spaces: filter by assignee, status and due date, see overdue tasks, and tick tasks off in place.
A macro that lists tasks from all spaces or the ones you pick, filtered by assignee, creator, status and due date. Overdue dates stand out; tasks are ticked off right in the report. Runs entirely on Atlassian.
What it does
- Assignee: the person viewing, anyone or nobody
- Status, creator and due date filters; overdue in red
- Tick off and reopen tasks from the report
- Sort by due date, newest or page; 50 to 500 tasks
- Filter box, refresh and CSV download
Where it appears
- Macro in the Confluence editor: type /Task report and choose Task report (all spaces).
How to use it
- Edit a page, type /Task report and choose Task report (all spaces).
- In the dialog, choose who the tasks are assigned to, the status, due date and spaces. Leave spaces empty for all spaces.
- Save and publish. Each reader sees the tasks that match, on pages they can open.
- Tick tasks off in the report; use Refresh to read them again.
Permissions
The app runs on Atlassian’s Forge platform and declares no permission to contact outside servers. It asks for these scopes:
| Scope | Why |
|---|---|
| read:task:confluence | Read tasks with their status, assignee and due date. |
| write:task:confluence | Tick tasks off or reopen them from the report. Confluence checks edit permission on the page. |
| read:page:confluence | Show the title and link of the page each task is on. |
| read:blogpost:confluence | The same for tasks on blog posts. |
| read:space:confluence | Look up the spaces chosen in the settings. |
| read:confluence-user | Show assignee names instead of account ids. |
Data and privacy
- What the app stores
- Nothing. The macro settings are saved in the page, like those of any macro.
- Personal data
- None stored. Assignee names are shown on screen and in the CSV you download.
- Logs
- None; the app has no backend.
- Where it lives
- Nowhere outside your Atlassian site: the app works in your browser with your own permissions and keeps nothing.
Details for all apps are in the privacy policy.
Good to know
- Up to 500 tasks per report.
- Tasks are read when the page opens; use Refresh to read them again.
Questions
Why can a colleague not tick off a task I can?
Ticking off needs edit permission on the page the task is on, exactly as on the page itself.
Does it replace the built-in task report?
It covers the same need across all spaces at once, with tick-off in the report. The built-in macro keeps working alongside it.
