What's Missing in Confluence?

Confluence is an easy-to-use tool for sharing unstructured data in the native Confluence environment.

However, as our users tell us, some tasks are difficult to do in Confluence:

  • Easily collecting and displaying structured data

  • Creating and enforcing consistency in how data is handled, accessed and presented

  • Capturing and delivering structured data across groups and teams

Scaffolding allows all this and more.

What is Scaffolding?

Scaffolding is a powerful add-on tool for Atlassian Confluence to help you manage structured data with editable forms and reusable linked templates. Scaffolding includes custom macros that capture, store and manage structured data on a Confluence page. The data can then be manipulated, evaluated or compiled into reports.
