  • Doctype Add-on


Doctype add-ons provide blueprints for the projectdoc Toolbox. All doctype add-ons are available in source code on Bitbucket. This way teams may download them and adapt them to their specific requirements.

Doctype Add-ons support teams to make relevant information easily and quick available for all stakeholders of a project or product. A team member does not need to decide where to put the information in what structure. Blueprints and homepages of documents allow team members to focus on the information they need to spread. Doctypes provide these tools.

Here is a list of add-ons that provide blueprints for the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence.

NameStatusShort Description
Core DoctypesAVAILABLE
Provides a basic set of doctypes to create agile documentation.
Doctypes for Agile PlanningAVAILABLE
Provides doctypes to collborate with your team. Run iterations and record discoveries that may be of interest at the end of the iteration or for even later reference. Quick notes are more easily added as records to the team's space than to the official documentation tree. Defer the talk to the documentation architect to the end of the iteration (if the discovery is still of interest).
Doctypes for App ManualsAVAILABLE SOON
Document macros, page blueprints, space blueprints, and components of your Confluence add-on.
Doctypes for Business StrategyAVAILABLE
Mission, vision, strategy for business planning and execution.
Doctypes for Project ManagementAVAILABLE
Provides doctypes for documenting decisions, risks, open issues, and meeting minutes.
Doctypes for Risk ManagementAVAILABLE SOON
Provides doctypes for documenting and tracking risks.
Doctypes for Service ManagementAVAILABLE
Provides doctypes to document services and systems for IT service management (ITSM).
Doctypes for Software DevelopmentAVAILABLE
Provides doctypes to create documentation in software development projects. The focus is on documenting the architecture of the product, but it includes templates for other software development documentation requirements as well.
Doctypes for TeamworkAVAILABLE
Provides doctypes to define the checklists, processes, patterns, tools, and rules your team agrees upon. Writing them down makes them accessible for anyone - especially for new team members. Keep these documents short and to the point!
Doctypes for V-Modell®XTAVAILABLE
Use products (templates) from the V-Modell®XT in your Confluence wiki as blueprints!
projectdoc Add-on for arc42AVAILABLE
Provides doctypes to document a system or software architecture based on the arc42 Template.
projectdoc Developer DiariesAVAILABLE
Provides doctypes to organize the developer's work by the employment of a diary. Take you personal planning and professional records to the next level!
projectdoc for Java DevelopersAVAILABLE
A collection of blueprints for Confluence to create and work with documentation for Java projects.
projectdoc for Maven DevelopersAVAILABLE

A collection of blueprints for Confluence to create and work with documentation for Maven projects.

Add-ons labelled as AVAILABLE SOON are already published on Bitbucket.

ABOUT TO BE AVAILABLE indicates that the add-on has been released to the Atlassian Marketplace and is waiting for approval.

Add-ons with status AVAILABLE are published on the Atlassian Marketplace and on Bitbucket.

Add-ons marked as NOT YET PUBLISHED are currently under development. Please get in touch if you need to know about the release plan!

POSTPONED indicates that the add-on is no longer under active development to be released on the Atlassian Marketplace, but still available on Bitbucket.

Aspect
An aspect is a document attached to another document to supply properties and sections. Aspects support modular documentation while the information can be still accessed in one document.
Attachment Space
Attachment spaces are delegate spaces for entity doctypes.
Context Controlled Macros
A context controlled macro uses properties from its context to control the content being rendered. This includes document and space properties.
Deep Link
Deep links reference properties in referenced documents.
Delegate Document
A delegate document references one document to inherit properties and sections.
Delegate Space
Delegate spaces help to organize information that is used by more than one space. Resources may be delegated to other spaces. This includes the definition of space properties and providing homepages for documents of a given type.
Document Instance
A projectdoc document instance is based on a document type. Documents are created using page wizards provided by blueprints.
Document Property
A property is metadata for a document. It has name, a value, and a control (such as hide).
Document Section
A document type defines property and sections. A section is part of a document with a title and a body. Sections may be nested.
Document Type
A document type (doctype) defines the properties and section for document instances. It also provides home and index pages. In Confluence these doctypes are implemented as page blueprints, usually with one template. This template is used to create new pages in Confluence.
Document Type Homepage
The default homepage for documents of a given type.
Document Type Index Page
Index pages provide views on document instances of a given type.
Entity Document Type
Instances of this type provide information on an entity of the domain.
Index Space
Delegate space that provides space properties and organizing doctype homepages for other spaces.
Nameless Documents
Feature to derive a document's name from its title.
Organizing Document Type
Instances of this type organize documents by providing metadata.
Phantom Reference
A reference to a document or fragment of an existing document that does not exist.
projectdoc Extension
Features we assume are not relevant to all users of the projectdoc Toolbox are available as extensions. Extensions are add-ons for Confluence that require the projectdoc Toolbox Add-on to be installed, but can be installed separately on demand.
Prototype
A member of a set of document instances of a common doctype. Used to be imported into wiki instances since they provided information to be used in different projects. Examples are topic types, resource types, and module types.
Remote Controlled Document
A remote controlled document uses macros that enable to control the content being rendered by request parameters.
Remote Controls
Remote controls are sequences that allow to configure macros in transcluded content. This reconfiguration alters the rendering result of the macro. Only macros supporting the remote control feature can be remote controlled.
Search Space
Search spaces extend the search with projectdoc macros for a space per default on a number of other spaces.
Space Hierarchy
A relation of spaces based on delegation or search.
Space Property
A property defined on the space homepage that takes effect on the space and delegating spaces.
Topic Space
Designed to keep information that is relevant for a given domain and is mandated to be up-to-date.
Type Doctypes
Document types that define types for documents.
Workspace
Designed to aggregate information that is relevant for a given spike or iteration.

Resources

Doctypes
Doctypes define properties and sections for documents. They are essentially Confluence Blueprints that help to create pages in your wiki based on templates.
Document Type
A document type (doctype) defines the properties and section for document instances. It also provides home and index pages. In Confluence these doctypes are implemented as page blueprints, usually with one template. This template is used to create new pages in Confluence.
#Doctype
Information regarding document types, but not document types themselves.
