July and August was a quiet time at Scandio with many of our co-workers being on summer vacation. Our Atlassian apps team used this opportunity for a productive phase with four new releases:

This is an experience report of how we tested our Confluence apps for the Atlassian Data Center requirements. While we successfully had most of our apps Data Center verified with this procedure, your app might require a different approach. There are many frameworks and procedures for performance/scale testing out there and you should choose the one that best fits your scenario. While we encourage you to have a look at our open source E4 framework that we used, we would like to point out that we do not provide active support and maintenance for the project. It is meant to be an open source community project with an "accepted uncertain future".

It can happen now and then that macros are removed in Confluence and replaced by a new feature. For example the View PDF Macro that was marked as obsolete with Confluence 5.9. But what to do to find the affected pages? Here PocketQuery for Confluence can help. A very simple one, admittedly, but I think it’s a practical example to use templates as well as converters and to have a quick access.

We’ve been working on it for some time now and we’re very happy that our two important Atlassian Marketplace apps, PocketQuery for Confluence and the free HideElements for Confluence, are now officially “Data Center ready”. The necessary tests with different target systems and many hundreds of concurrent users take longer than originally anticipated but we are positive that we will follow up with our other Marketplace apps by September.

This week the Scandio product team had their fourth Release Day 2019 for our Atlassian Marketplace Apps. A number of new and improved features are now available to make your work with Atlassian products even easier.

In Confluence it is always possible to share news, new knowledge or interesting facts from your professional environment with your colleagues through blog posts. This knowledge transfer is essential for an effective knowledge management. Bu

The KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) of a company are of immense importance for controlling. In most cases, these figures are collected in Excel tables or can be retrieved from multiple sources. In the broadest sense, this means additional work for those responsible, who have to screen these KPIs and subsequently prepare them for presentation.

Choosing a process strategy for your HR-team is not a trivial decision. Why should you change something in your applicant management? The everyday observations below provide some reasons for this:

As you may remember, in Lively Theme 2.0, the “Dashboard page” was introduced. Instead of adding and removing widgets from a configuration interface, the dashboard can be edited just like a page, because it is a page. ;-)

When did this last happen to you? Your Confluence layout is too boring and therefore you usually lose track of things quickly? You work with your colleagues on a project with multiple tasks and only notice when hitting the save button that the colleague has already completed the task?
