Pillar Science includes a common feature to tag others in the platform, @mention.
What is the @mention Feature?
The @mention feature allows you to tag a specific person in a message or comment. When you use it, the tagged person usually receives a notification, making it easier for them to find and respond to your message.
Using the @mention features ensures the mentioned person sees the message while reducing the need for follow-up emails. Because it's posted in the project, it also helps keep team members informed and engaged.
How to Use the @mention Feature
- Start with the “@” Symbol: Begin by typing the “@” symbol in your message or comment.
- Type the Person’s Name: After the “@”, start typing the name of the person you want to mention. A list of matching names will appear as you type.
- Select the Name: Click on the correct name from the list that appears. This will insert the name into your content.
Example
