Using @mentions in your report

How to mention colleagues, who gets notified, and how access grants work when enabled.

3 min read

The @mention system is how you loop in colleagues, share context, and trigger notifications, all without leaving your report.

How to mention someone

Type @ in any report text field or discussion input. An autocomplete dropdown appears showing org members. Start typing a name to filter, then click or press Enter to insert the mention chip.

What happens when you mention someone

  • They receive an in-app notification (and optionally an email).
  • If @mention access is enabled in Admin → Settings → Submission Rules, they also gain read access to the entire report and receive a direct link to it.
  • The mention chip is rendered as an interactive tag; readers can click through to that person's profile.

Deduplication

Repeated mentions of the same person are deduplicated. If access was already granted, it is not re-applied.

@mentions work in report fields, discussion comments, replies, and edits. When access is granted, it is persistent. Revoking the setting later does not remove existing grants.
