projectdoc allows you to set spaces in hierarchies using the delegate-space Delegate Space property, which is a space property. Any properties defined in delegate spaces are automatically visible in the delegating space.

Please refer to Space Hierarchies for more information on this topic.

The number of space properties may be rising with time. To manage large amounts of space properties you may group them semantically and store them on separate pages.

Use the space property space-properties-extension Space Properties Extension (Space Property) to list pages that provide additional space properties as a space property on your space home page.

Properties specified within the properties table of the Document Properties Marker Macro on the home page of the user are also taken into account when rendering space properties.

These properties are used to define user-specific home pages for document types or allow users to switch roles.

Template authors may want to display certain content only if a given space property is set. The Content Marker Macro allows to specify space properties that need to be set to show the content. 

This option is also available for sections.

With projectdoc you may create spaces for software projects built with Maven. Create a space by reading the project's POM file. The properties of the POM are automatically made available as space properties.

Depending on the version of the product, different space properties may be enforced by using space properties extensions.

Note Box
The doctype add-on is not yet available on the Atlassian Marketplace. Large POM files take a long time to create the space. While developers may deal with this, other users may be annoyed by the import process. Until this problem is fixed users may choose to fork and build the add-on on their own. It is available on Bitbucket!

Sometimes an author needs to look at a page as if she is a reader. For these use cases there is the pretend-being-a Pretend Being A property that is only allowed to be specified as a user space property.

Users may want to define home pages for certain types of documents individually. It is also possible to store documents of a given subject automatically to a specific page.

The example shows how to set the home page for all Resource documents to 'Library' and direct all documents with the Subject 'Team Announcement' to the 'Announcements' page.

A number of macros in the PDAC1 refer to space properties for a central configuration.

Here are two examples:
