Two ways of mentioning

There is more than one method to mention someone. They both work in every text field in KanBo.

  1. Type @ and start typing the user’s name or surname. Click the name of the person you would like to mention or press Enter to mention them.
  1. Another way is just dragging an avatar of the user and dropping it at the text field. Confirm the action by clicking Mention user.
