Summary
@ mentions are a good way to notify users of posts that relate to them. The @ mention all functionality adds the option in “Groups” to quickly mention all members of the group without having to mention each member individually
Steps
Activating and Configuring:
1) Navigate to the mentions configuration screen via Admin:
– Home > Administration > Content settings > Mentions
2) Select the Allow to tag @all users within the group checkbox
3) Input a max limit of group members
– Set to 0 if you wish to have no limit
4) Once you are happy with your set limit, click the ‘Save’ button
Expected result
You are now able to use the @all functionality in any groups whose members’ total is equal to or less than the set limit
Please note: We recommend not setting a limit over 1000 as this runs the risk of slowing down the response time or timing out completely
