User mentioning

User mentioning is a useful way to draw the user's attention to a page or comment. When you mention a user, they will receive an email which contains the content of the comment in which they are mentioned and a direct link to the asset page.

Mentioning users

To mention a user in a comment, you type the @ symbol followed by the user's first name, last name or username. Matching names appear as you start typing a name, even if the typed character is not the first character as shown in the following example.

If the first name and or last name is available, these will be used to address the user, if those are not available, then the username will be used.

Note If a user is deleted, all the mentions are replaced by @Deleted User.

View permissions

If you mention a user who does not have the view permission on the asset, it will be indicated when you select the user.

As a mentioned user, if you open the link in a mail, you see a Not authorized message if you don't have the permission to view the asset.
