The User Status List macro displays a history of any Confluence user's Status Updates on your Confluence page or blog. This is the same history that appears in the user's Status Updates view.

Screenshot: Example Usage of the User Status List Macro



On this page:

Usage with the Macro Browser

To insert the User Status List macro into a page using the Macro Browser,

  1. Open your desired Confluence page or blog post, then click the 'Edit' button. The page or blog post opens in edit mode.
  2. Click the Macro Browser icon on the toolbar. The macro browser window opens in the middle of the screen in 'macro selection' mode.
  3. Scroll through the list of macros. Alternatively, start typing part of the name of your desired macro into the search box at the top right of the macro browser window. Macros with a matching name will appear in the main pane.
  4. Click on the desired macro to access its parameters and preview parameter changes ('preview mode').
  5. Set the macro parameters to your requirements. If desired, you can preview these changes by clicking 'Refresh'.
  6. Click 'Insert' to put the macro into the page.

You can also insert macros via autocomplete. For more information, see Using Autocomplete in the Rich Text Editor.


Once you've found the User Status List macro and have added the required parameter values, click 'insert' to add it to your page.

Parameters

Parameters are options that you can include in Confluence macros to control the content or format of the macro output. The table below lists relevant parameters for this macro.

Parameter names are different in the macro browser and in wiki markup. Below we show the macro browser parameter names in bold text, and the equivalent wiki markup parameters in (bracketed) text. If we do not show any parameter name for the wiki markup, then you should leave out the parameter name and simply include the parameter value as the first parameter, immediately after the colon (:).

Parameter Required in Wiki Markup? Default Description
Username
(username)
yes none The username of the Confluence user whose history of Status Updates you wish to show.
If you wish to list status updates made by more than just one user, you can use the recently updated macro in conjunction with the following parameter-value combinations:
  • Include these Content Types Onlystatus
  • Author(s) by username — the user(s) whose status updates you want to include in the list. If you leave this field blank, the status updates of all users will be included.
