Mention

You can tag a coworker or server in your post or comment by mentioning that person or thing. Mentioning a coworker lets you notify him or her of a task that needs to be done, or a question you have. Mentioning a server lets you point out a problem, or draw correlations between similar events on different servers.

Mentioning someone or something can also have the following effects:

• Notifies your coworker that he or she has been mentioned, giving him or her the opportunity to respond
• Notifies the owner of the server about your post or comment
• Displays the corresponding story when coworkers search for posts or comments about a particular server or person

To mention a coworker or server, type @ and then the person's or computer's short name, such as @Melissa or @TestServer01. The feed will automatically match the name to available coworkers and servers, refining the match criteria as you type. An available coworker is any person who has a Newsfeed account whereas an available server is any server that is being managed by an application.

You can mention someone or something "inline", in the context of the comment or post you want to make. For example:

I think @Melissa is checking out the query wait stats on @TestServer01 before we go live tomorrow.

TIP	To receive notifications when coworkers mention (tag) you, or a server you own, in their posts or comments, change your account settings.
