The @mention function enables you to add/tag a specific person on The Exchange to a new post, or when commenting on a post.
When @mentioning a person the user is sent a notification in their inbox, and depending on their settings they may also get an email.
To use @mention:
- When creating a new post or when replying to a post, type the “@” symbol and start typing the person’s username that you would like to add to the conversation. A search dialog opens with suggested matches.
- Select the correct username match from the list, and the user will be highlighted in the post, and notified that they have been added to your post.
Note: @mentioning someone in content they are already participating will generate 2 notifications, one for the @mention the other for the update to the content.
