How does the @mention feature work?

When you want to ensure that someone is getting the information you post in the conversation, you can use the @mention feature to get their attention.  Simply type @ and then their name.  Deltek Collaboration will show a drop-down menu where you can select the person’s name.  When that person next logs in, they will see the conversation with a “You are mentioned” notification, even if they had muted the conversation.  By default, the @mention will send the user an email with the comment where they were mentioned.  The email settings can be updated in your profile.  You can also use @mention to specify groups.

Note: If you type @ but do not select someone or a group from the drop-down list, the “You are mentioned” notification and un-muting will not occur.  The @mention text changes to a red box with the name when the feature is enabled.
