Create interactive cards on Confluence pages
Handy Cards is a macro that allows you to preview your Confluence pages on the main one allowing other users to easily browse between multiple blog posts. We are mostly addressing the pain when viewers need to scroll through the whole selection of blog posts when they are looking for the one to read.
This macro helps you simply offer your team the opportunity to browse through the cards, which contain images, titles, and some text that will lead them to the entire blog post.
Now, you can swiftly create cards for child pages, pages by labels, or custom content, choosing the number of characters to show on the preview, regulating the number of columns, or showing the document’s author.
This feature can also be helpful when you want your users to have an overview of multiple pages that are stored in different spaces.
Add tooltips with useful information
Handy Tip adds the ability to hover over any piece of text, image or emoji displaying pop-up tooltips with additional information. This macro can help you create interactive pages instead of boring endless documents.
You need to choose the object and decide what information you want to add. This will allow you to create content that is relevant and interesting to your audience.
Moreover, you can add widgets, some useful links and even pictures to the Handy Tip window to create high-quality content for your readers and shorten the main text.
Create dynamic statuses
The Handy Status macro is one of the killer features of our app because it allows you to create your own dynamic status sets and use them across the entire Confluence instance. Moreover, you can create personal status sets and space status sets your colleagues can also use.
The best thing about this macro is that you can change one status to another on the fly right in the view mode. If you hover over the status, you can track the story of changes.
Replace links with buttons
The Handy Button macro allows users to create appealing buttons on Confluence pages, adding direct links to the required sources. This way, you attract your users’ attention to the most important information they need to read because sometimes, some generic links can be lost among the tons of text.
You’ll get a button on your page that opens a browser link when you click it.
You can also use relative Confluence links for the buttons you create with the help of this macro.
Be on top of your tasks
The Handy Reminder macro helps you not forget important tasks and events. You can easily create reminders for your teammates and choose the required date and time period.
You will receive an email and a notification in your Confluence workbox on a specified date.
