Understand the Upcoming report

The table below explains each gadget on this dashboard. Note that the dashboard works with expiration and archiving dates directly set on any piece of content, if any. If a content inherits an earlier expiration or archiving date from any of its ancestors, that date will be the effective one, but it won't be reflected on this dashboard.

The following section helps you understand the Upcoming report by explaining each gadget.

Gadget Description Notes
Past expiration dates This KPI gadget displays the total number of contents expired in the last 30 days on the Confluence site or in the space. Click the number to see these contents. A high number can mean reviews are falling behind schedule. Check the contents behind it, and consider setting up notifications so responsible parties are reminded to review content before it expires.
Upcoming expiration dates This KPI gadget displays the total number of contents that are going to expire in the next 30 days on the Confluence site or in the space. Click the number to see these contents. A high number gives you early, forward-looking visibility into an approaching wave of reviews, so you can plan and distribute the workload before it piles up instead of reacting once content is already outdated.
Past archiving dates This KPI gadget displays the total number of contents that passed their archiving date in the last 30 days on the Confluence site or in the space. Click the number to see these contents. Review the contents behind a high number to catch any content that was archived unintentionally. Acting quickly matters here, since the longer a mistake goes unnoticed, the harder it becomes to restore the content accurately.
Upcoming archiving dates This KPI gadget displays the total number of contents that are going to pass their archiving date in the next 30 days on the Confluence site or in the space. Click the number to see these contents. A high number is your forward-looking chance to review the content that's about to be archived and, if needed, intervene (for example by extending the archiving date) before the action takes place, helping you avoid unwanted, accidental archiving.
Expiration timeline Displays the number of contents that expired or are going to expire on any given day. The chart ranges from the last 30 days to the next 30 days. Under the chart, you can preview the list of these contents.
(There is one data point per day.) 		This forward-looking, status-agnostic view lets the most urgent expirations naturally surface at the top of the list, and reveals quiet periods and upcoming spikes at a glance, so you can plan reviews before content actually expires. To see the full list, click the "See all" link.
Archiving timeline Displays the number of contents that are set to be archived on any given day. The chart ranges from the last 30 days to the next 30 days. Under the chart, you can preview the list of these contents.
(There is one data point per day.) 		This forward-looking, status-agnostic view shows exactly which contents are set to be archived and when, so you can catch and prevent unwanted archiving actions before they happen instead of discovering them after the fact. To see the full list, click the "See all" link.

Security

The Upcoming dashboard is available for all users. The dashboard respects the Confluence space permissions and page restrictions.

More precisely:

  • If the app can't access a space or content (page or blog post), it will not collect analytics about it.
  • If you can't view a space, the contents in it will not contribute to the data shown in the KPI gadgets and the charts. Also, its contents won't show up in the content lists opened.
  • If you can't view a content, it will not contribute to the data shown in the KPI gadgets and the charts. Also, it won't show up in the content lists opened.

As the dashboard is personalized for the user who opens it, your dashboard view and your teammate's may be different.
