Working with Mentions

This section describes how to use the mention feature.
The mention feature is used to clarify who is the target for the added comments.
This feature is useful in the following situations.

• When you need urgent attention from the users who receive too many update notifications to read new ones.
• When you want the users to read comments who disabled the notification or who are not the recipients of the notifications.

When specified as a recipient, "@ To me" notifications are displayed in the notification list in addition to regular update notifications.

You can use this feature in the comment field of the following applications.
Users, organizations, and roles can be specified as recipients.

Mention feature requires you to specify the recipients from the suggestions based on the characters you entered.

Addresses that are not specified correctly, such as users who do not have accounts in Garoon, are deleted from the input field and cannot be used as the recipients.

You will be notified when you are mentioned using one of the following.

• Name
• Organizations you belong to
• Roles that you have set

Notifications that you have mentioned yourself are not notified.

Notifications is an application that allows you to view notifications on updates for each application.
By writing a comment by mentioning the recipient, the users specified as the recipients can filter only the notifications addressed to them in the list.
For details on the Notifications, see the explanation on checking the notifications.

If your system administrator or users have set up the Notifications portlet in the portal, you can check the notifications on the top page.
For details of the Notifications portlet, see Notifications Portlet.
