The ConfiForms app uses Confluence's page permissions to control form use. Users with 'edit' permission for a page have administrative rights for the form(s) defined on that page. By restricting 'edit' rights to the page, the administrator controls administrative rights to its form(s). See more on Confluence page permissions and ConfiForms

Each record stored with ConfiForms has an owner. This means that a user who owns the record can fully control it (if edit/delete is enabled by the administrator). Admin users of a form can configure ConfiForms records to be owned by themselves, and also by other users. A form's administrative users can control all records saved by the form.

A form can define additional users as form administrators or form superusers (even if they don't have edit permissions on the page). 

Each record in ConfiForms has the following associated metadata (aka metadata fields):

  • id - record internal id (UUID), unique for every saved record within dataset
  • ownedBy - the username(s) of the users who own the record (and can fully control it) - multi-value field! Multiple users can own a record!
  • ownedByName - the full name of the user who owns the record   Use ownedBy.transform(fullName).asList
  • createdBy - the username of the user who has created the record (admin users can create records for other users)
  • createdByName - the full name of the user who has created the record  Use createdBy.fullName
  • created - the timestamp when the record was created
  • dateCreatedFormatted - a more readable way to see created timestamp (Uses "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" format, if you need "created" date in another format, use Virtual functions, created.formatDate(PATTERN) to get it in the format you want)
  • recordId - numeric ID of the record, unique within the form. If you want to reference the record always use "id" field instead

ownedBy and createdBy are now User objects and you can access all user object properties! See here: Accessing field values and properties

How to access ConfiForms metadata fields

All these metadata fields, in addition to the form's defined fields (definitions), can be referenced using the "ConfiForms Field macro" in these ConfiForms macros:

  • TableView macro
  • ListView macro
  • CardView macro
  • CalendarView macro
  • PlainView macro - when you need just values from ConfiForms and want to construct you tables/HTML widgets yourself (to be used in conjunction with HTML macro, for example; and using [entry.FIELD_NAME] notation to reference field values )
  • CleanView - similar to ListView, with less capabilities but with a lot cleaner HTML generated. Useful for designing own macros (with user macros) and mising it with HTML and other macros. Supports macros insides it's body
  • ValueView macro - is self contained and shows the field value directly (no need to use "ConfiForms Field macro")

Also there is a "IFMatches" macro which can be used inside CalendarView and ListView to enable showing/hiding blocks of content based on the ConfiForms field values
