GETTING STARTED
Simple Metadata documentation
Start with an overview of schemas, capture and reports.
Runs on Atlassian
Simpleasyty develops Simple Metadata on Atlassian Forge. The app has the Runs on Atlassian badge: Atlassian hosts its compute and storage and checks requirements for data residency and external connections. Captured metadata is not stored in a separate Simpleasyty database.
Why structured metadata matters
Details such as owner, status and next review date often vary from one Confluence page to another. A schema gives pages the same fields and rules, so teams can check values and compare them in reports across pages.
Where the data comes from
Authors enter values through the Simple Metadata macro on a page. You can also import existing Page Properties or bring in schemas from a JSON or YAML package. Page Properties import copies the values; it does not keep them in sync.
Where the data is stored
Metadata is linked to Confluence pages, but its values live in the app's Forge storage rather than in page content. Live schemas, metadata and report indexes use Forge SQL; history and schema revisions use Forge KVS. There is no storage selector for individual records.
