Create a database

Create a database

The four ways to create a database in Confluence:

• Describe your database to Rovo.

• Select the Create button in the main navigation.

• Select the + button next to the Content section or a parent item in the space sidebar

• Use the + insert menu or / command when editing.

Create a database with Rovo

1. Select the Create button in the navigation.

2. Select Create with Rovo to open a fullscreen Rovo promp

3. Describe the data you want to collect using plain language and as much detail as you want.

4. Select Submit to create a preview of the database. You can continue your conversation with Rovo to refine your database.

5. Select Add to Confluence to create the database.

Create a database using the Create button

1. Select the Create button in the navigation.

2. Select Database.

This will create a new blank database in your current space. If you don't have edit permissions in that space, it will default to your personal space.

Create a database in the content tree

1. Select the + button next to the Content section in the space sidebar.

2. Select Database to create a database in the current space.

You can also create a database under an item in the content tree using the + button. The button appears when hovering over the content's title in the sidebar.

Create a database from within a page

On a page or live doc, type /database.

Database setup

Once you have created a new database, you will be guided through some options for the initial setup. During the setup, you have the option to do one of the following:

• Connect to a Jira instance and insert issues into the database.

• Use a template to help you get started.

• Import data from a CSV file.

You can start with a blank database and create a custom structure to suit your needs.
