**Comala Metadata** allows a user to create and attach metadata to any page or space in Confluence

Metadata values can be in a range of formats - allowing links and emoticons to be added

Use the app to present this metadata on other pages, generate customised reports and statistics for pages and spaces, and  
provide metadata for use in templates, other macros, and other apps including Comala Document Management.

## Add metadata to your pages

Add space breadcrumbs to your pages, either individually or through global admin Layout options using the [space-breadcrumbs macro](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMALACM/pages/656677781)

<span style="color: #333333">Add metadata to users profiles and personal spaces.</span>  
<span style="color: #333333">Generate reports for the metadata attached to users, blog posts and attachments.</span>
