In Telligent Enterprise 4.5, the Notification Queue in the Site - User Navigation widget displays notifications of where a user or his groups are mentioned.

You can view the notifications about personal mentions in the new Notification Queue or new Live Alerts in the 4.5 release.

Telligent Enterprise 4.0 and 4.1 have an @mentions service that promotes social engagement by pulling community members and groups into a conversation. The service allows users to @mention other users or groups and link to their profiles page, or @mention groups and link to the group home page.

Social service

The @mention service is modularized to provide engagement for community members with community-internal content, and with third-party applications via the APIs.

The @mention service is is part of the core functionality of this release.

Social engagement

This release furthers social engagement using @mentions to link to community members, groups, and group applications into conversations. This feature can be used in the Quick Post, Activity Story Stream, posts, forum threads, forum replies, applications, and comments

When a member is @mentioned, that mention is displayed on the Site - User Navigation widget @ Mentions tab and the User - Navigation widget Mentions tab on the profile page.

When the group is @mentioned, the mention is shown in the Site - User Navigation widget @ Mentions tab, the Group - Application Navigation widget Mentions tab, and the Group - Links Mentions tab.

Social metrics

Mentions do not figure into content metrics.

Community participation

As a registered user, you can @mention other community members using their username or display name; groups; and group applications in the activity stream; Quick Post; blog, media gallery, and wiki posts; forum  threads and replies; applications, and comments. After you save your entry, the mentioned name turns into a link to the appropriate context, which would be a member's profile page; application page, or group homepage.
