Create a database

Create a database

There are three ways to create a database in Confluence:

• the Create button in the main navigation

• the + button next to the Content section or a parent item in the space sidebar

• by using the + insert menu or / command when editing a page

Create a database using the Create button

1. Select the Create button in the navigation.

2. Select Database.

This will create a new blank database in your current space. If you don't have edit permissions in that space, it will default to your personal space.

Create a database in the content tree

1. Select the + button next to the Content section in the space sidebar.

2. Select Database to create a database in the current space.

You can also create a database under an item in the content tree using the + button. The button appears when hovering over the content's title in the sidebar.

Create a database from within a page

Database setup

Once you have created a new database, you will be guided through some options for the initial setup. During the setup, you have the option to do one of the following:

• Connect to a Jira instance and insert issues into the database.

• Use a template to help you get started.

• Import data from a CSV file.

You can start with a blank database and create a custom structure to suit your needs.
