How do I use Appfire's scaffolding and blueprint?

[Sam Frank]

I have to use AppFire's scaffolding and blueprint macro to build dashboards in confluence. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Will I be able to take information from Jira and use Scaffolding and Blueprint to display a dashboard in confluence?

Hi @Sam Frank 

I'm Jorge Merino, the Product Manager for Scaffolding here at Appfire.

Scaffolding is designed to help teams structure and manage content in Confluence using forms, and templates. It’s especially useful for building knowledge bases, documentation, and status pages that need consistent formatting and structured data. 

While Scaffolding doesn’t natively connect to Jira, it can be used to organize and display information consistently, and many teams combine it with Jira macros or other reporting tools to present Jira data effectively.

To better support you, could you share more details about the solution you're aiming to build? What kind of content or Jira information would you like to show in the dashboard?

Best regards,
Jorge

Hi @Sam Frank , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your post. 

Have you already checked out the product documentation for this app? https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCAFC/pages/477471063/Create+a+project+overviews+inventory 

They also have some other 'recipes' and worked examples.

I hope this helps you. 

Cheers

Hi @Valerie Knapp I actually have not. Im going to check it out tonight. I'm studying to be a power user - and one of the requirements is the master the scaffolding macro :) Thank you for your quick reply.
