Creating an IF ELSE statement with Reporting

Scenario

This recipe allows you to create an IF ELSE statement using Reporting and Scaffolding Forms & Templates for Confluence Server and Data Center instead of using reporting data via the Report Body and Report Empty macros.

This also replaces the legacy report structure where you place text filter macros into Report Body or Report Column.
