Reporting can generate reports from pages that contain Atlassian [Page Properties macros](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-macro/). These macros are widely used to show summary information from one page on another page. 

You can display information in your reports similar to what is shown by Atlassian [Page Properties Report macros](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-report-macro/). By using Reporting, you can combine Page Properties and other types of content (such as metadata, Scaffolding data, etc) in the same report.

> ✅ In Confluence Data Center, it is possible to embed a macro within another macro. For example, you can embed a Page Properties Report macro within a Reporting macro.
> ✅ 
> ✅ Confluence Cloud currently does not support embedding macros, which is one of the reasons why this feature was implemented.

## Prerequisite

The Page Properties macro support is a beta feature, and your administrator must first [enable it in the app's configuration](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFC/pages/477333120).

## Add a Page Properties report block

Follow these steps to add a Page Properties block to your report:

1. Mark the sections of pages you are interested in with the Page Properties macro. Refer to [Atlassian's page](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-macro/) for details on how to use the Page Properties macro.
2. In the Reporting macro editor, match the appropriate pages for the report in the *Query *section. For this example, we're matching all pages with the label `project_status`.

> ℹ️ This example query matches pages with a particular label. However, Reporting is not reliant on page labels like the Page Properties Report macro, so you can use any other valid query that matches the pages. This also means you do not need to specifically add labels to pages for Reporting to reference them.

3. In the [Report Builder](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFC/pages/477333116) section, add a **Page Properties** block.
4. Click the newly created block and provide a suitable title in the **Block Name **box. This will be used as the column title in the report.
5. For the **Key value**, select the appropriate field from the dropdown. Reporting automatically reads all the fields you have marked with the Page Properties macro and displays them in the dropdown.
6. Click **Update**.
7. Add more report blocks as necessary.
8. **Save** your report and **Publish** the page.
