Defining space

As mentioned you can define a different space by using the space key text field.

There is the following to be aware of:

If the space key is not valid, it will show the index for the current space with a information text stating: Space key now valid, using current space instead.

If some of users is getting this message even though the space exists - It is because they don’t have access to the defined space.

If there is no content in the defined space, the macro will just state: No data to show.

Number of Index columns

Empowering you with choice and flexibility, the Space Page Index Macro lets you dictate the layout that best suits your needs. Whether you prefer a streamlined view with just one column or a more expansive display with two or three columns, the decision is entirely yours.

For some users, a single column may offer optimal clarity, allowing for a focused, uncluttered presentation of content. Others may find that two columns strike the perfect balance between compactness and comprehensiveness, accommodating a broader range of information without overwhelming the viewer. And for those who require maximum detail and organization, three columns provide the space to display content-rich indexes.
