Mentioning users

Use mentions to tag a user in a specific text field. You can do it two ways.

Standard way to mention a user in a text field:

  • Click in the text field for edition, and then type “@” and the user name.

You don’t have to type in the whole username, you can select it from the list of users that appears when you type “@”.

Alternative way to mention user:

  • Drag a specific user’s avatar, and move it to a text field.

To mention users in notes using this method, you must first activate the text field by clicking in the note.

Users mentioned in to-do list items will become card users after converting to-do list items into cards.
