Find mentions / List of mentions

[Martin Dellagiacoma]

Hi community,

i´m setting up confluence as a knowledge database for our company.

Of course i´m trying out all the possibilities of confluence as much as i can.

It´s a nice feature to mention employees.

But i´m not able to understand how i can find the mentions.

Is there a list where i can see all where i´m mentioned.

Or is there any other possibility to find all mentions?

I didn´t find anything usable for me.

Neither on the internet or in the forum.

It should work for all of my employees. Also for them who are not so tech-savvy.

Thank you

@Martin Dellagiacoma  If someone mentions people in  'tasks' or 'action items' within a page & by inserting a task report in a page or different page , you would be able to see them all together. I am not sure about mentions

Hi Martin,

Welcome to the community!

Unfortunately, Confluence does not have a built-in feature that provides a comprehensive list of all mentions. However, for a more efficient way to track mentions, you might want to consider using tools designed specifically for this purpose.

For instance, the Mentions Dashboard for Jira (right not it is available for Jira Cloud but we are developing solution for Confluence) can be helpful. Dashboard allows users to view and manage all their mentions in one place, making it easier for your employees to keep track of where they’re needed and ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks.                               

Add-on newly released and developed by my team. 
I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further guidance. Good luck with setting up your knowledge database!

Hi @Martin Dellagiacoma -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

With the out-of-the-box JQL features, you may search for the mentions by finding your user account ID value and searching on that.

When a user is mentioned with Jira Cloud, that is encoded in the field as:

[~accountId:your account ID]

To find your account ID, you could perform a JQL search with this:

assignee IN (start typing your user name)

When your name appears, select it, and it will be replaced by the account ID value.

Then you may search for your mentions with the CONTAINS operator and an "exact phrase" search by adding the escaped quotation marks:

text ~ "\"[~accountid:your account ID]\""

Kind regards,
Bill
