Can I filter status from multiple tabs?

[Jesse Gardocki]

Hello,

I have a confluence page with multiple tabs (each with their own table) that I want a user to be able to filter key words I've set up through the status macro. Filter table works but the challenge is that the user needs to click through each tab to see if there was a hit. Is there a way to pull all filtered words into a single table or is there a different way I can filter more effectively when using tabs?

Thanks

Hi @Jesse Gardocki ,

Please define which app (macro) you are using to filter your tables - it is not a native feature as well as tabs.

Hello,

I have been trying to use the Table Filter macro. 

Here are more details on the situation. You can see that Tab 1 and Tab 2 have different status labels and between the tabs they both share the status 'TEST'. When I filter for 'Test', it works correctly but I need to click on each tab to find the filtered item. 

If I have a lot of tabs, this feels like an inefficient way to have someone locate where all labels of 'Test' live. I'm open to other filtering options, but ideally would like a way that when I filter 'Test' all the status' from the different tabs appear in one location. Hope that makes sense!

Seems that the described behavior is an expected one.

Nevertheless, you may try to restructure your case:

• Keep your tables on separate pages (across your Confluence or on child pages to your master page - as you need them to be)
• Each table should be wrapped in the Table Excerpt macro
• Then on the master page you collect all your tables with the help of the Table Excerpt Include macro. The collected tables can have multiple rows but their headers should be the same - you tick the "Show as a report" option and get a big combined report
• The Table Excerpt Include macro is wrapped in the Table Filter macro. So, when you filter your report, you'll see data from all the mini tables

Hope I'm making some sense.)
