How to: Tag or @mention a member

Just like many of the other platforms you use - when you tag another user in your question or comment, the platform will notify them that they were mentioned in a post. To tag a user, you simply start with the @ symbol, then begin typing their username.Example: @Andi Ancheta The platform will suggest matches, and you simply select the username of the person you would like to tag. As soon as you post your message, the user will receive a notification that they were mentioned, and a link to the post.

Why can I not see more than 40 work items in the Work View?

If there are more than 40 work items on the work tab, I cannot scroll through them. I get a blue circle in the far left corner as if it is thinking/processing, but nothing happens and it does not go past the first 40 work items. The only way I can find what I need is resort the work under “Name” and hope it falls in the last 40 items, or I have to do a search (hoping I guess the correct key words) to find a specific work item. However, if I need to scroll through all the items there is no way I can do that if it is more than 40 work items.** This is a recent issue - meaning I was able to scroll past 40 before - this has happened in the last week to two weeks.

Client Task - automatic emails/request

Hi there,I have client tasks set up in my workflows where an email requesting for information is set to go out during the month, but this automatic email seems to be having an issue lately, unsure of the reason. It has happened with a few of my clients, and I don’t know if they’re receiving the emails if I manually send them from the task either. Please advise.Thank you.

What can the client see in their portal? - The Work name? The Client Task group name ? The tasks ? The Sender of the Client task? Is the Client Task portal by the client email address ?
