User mentions
In Collibra 2024.05, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Collibra Data Intelligence Platform! You can learn more about this latest UI in the UI overview.
Use the following options to see the documentation in the latest UI or in the previous, classic UI:
You can draw a user's attention to a comment, community, domain, or asset by simply mentioning them.
Mention a user
To mention a user in a comment, select @ from the toolbar or enter @, and then enter the user's first name, last name, or username. As you enter a name, matching names appear, even if the entered character isn't the first character in a name.
In a user mention, the user is addressed by their first and last names. If the first and last names for a user aren't available, their username is used. If, however, the profile of the user is deleted, their name in the mention is replaced with @Deleted User.
View all comments where you're mentioned
To view all the comments in which you are mentioned, go to your profile page, and then, in the tab pane, click Mentions.
