- Who is form admin and how to remove AdminUI?
Each ConfiForms Form is associated with a page (or a blogpost), the page where this form is defined using ConfiForms Form macro container. Administrators for this form are users who:- have administrative access to Confluence (Confluence admins and superusers)
- users who have edit permissions on the page where the form is configured
- users (users in a group) who are explicitly set to be Form administrators via ConfiForms Form parameter to set additional form admins (they might not have Edit permissions on the page)
Why do I see a "+" button on my form?
This is because you are the administrator of the form and allowed to see some metadata and create records on someones behalf. Ordinal users will not see this button- What happens with the date when the ConfiForms plugin is disabled/uninstalled
Nothing. The data stored with ConfiForms plugin is stored as page metadata and remains in the database even if uninstall the plugin.
ConfiForms plugin could not replace JIRA for you
This is very important to understand. ConfiForms is not a replacement to JIRA or any other issue tracking system. However, it could be easily used as one, but keep in mind the dataset size and the complexity of the forms you build.
The original purpose of ConfiForms plugin is to allow customers to store some structured data within Confluence. We strongly advice you try to avoid forms with 5000+ rows, or better put, to avoid pages with forms that have 5000+ rows (as you may have many forms on the same Confluence page) There is no limit on a number of forms you can create, and no limit on number of rows, but our tests show that the plugin works best then a number of rows is up to 2000 (per form) and dataset is smaller than 10MB. We strongly suggest to keep the datasets sizes as small as possible, splitting the data between forms or using other external storages, such as JIRA as an example.I could not enable the plugin (Plugins are disabled during startup due to unsatisfied dependencies errors)
We depend on Confluence Workbox, to send internal notifications. Please make sure you have Workbox – Host Plugin (version 4.0.2 or can be other version, depending on your Confluence server version) is enabled!This might be the log entry you see in the Confluence general log:
