User mentions

Important 

In Collibra 2024.05, we've 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 via the User mention option.

Mention a user

To mention a user in a comment, select or enter @, and then type the user's first name, last name, or username. As you type a name, matching names appear, even if the typed character is not 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 are not available, their username is used. If, however, the profile of the user is deleted, their name in the mention is replaced with @Deleted User.

List of user mentions

To view all the comments in which you are mentioned, go to your profile page, and then, in the tab pane, click Mentions.
