Index spaces are meant to collect common configuration for spaces using the PDAC1 for Confluence . This includes space properties and homepages for doctypes. A type doctype is a doctype that is used to categorize document instances of one other doctype. The doctype using the categorization defines a document property named Type (this is just a naming convention). On a type document typically all document instances of the given type are listed. So a type document is simply a view on your documents of a given doctype and type. | Example Box |

For this example a resource type document is named Specification. 
Each type document instance has a section called Resources of this Type. 
In this section there is an instance of the Display Table Macro that automatically lists all resource documents of this resource type. 
In this example the document named Specification lists all resource documents of type Specification.

Since index spaces are used by multiple spaces, documents from all this spaces should be listed. Per default only the document instances of the index space itself are listed (which are typically none). One option to fix this is to specify the spaces to search in explicitly. The Display Table Macro provides a parameter named Space Keys for this. 
Entering the same set of spaces for each type document instance is quite cumbersome. This tip shows how to fix this more easily. |
