Using the @user feature for notifying a user

In this post I can begin typing @mi... and it will display a list of users to select from.  Is this possible in Appian?  If not has anyone come up with a way to implement it with a smart service or other product add-on?

Thanks

  • Unfortunately you won't be able to achieve a picker solution that appears inside another component such as a!textField() or a!paragraphField(), where users can type freely.  There have been some discussions on similar functionality prior, such as this thread, which involve having the user type out the entire @user.name, and then parsing the text to find matching accounts and log what you need to from there.  There can be validation included which will determine if the accounts typed are found or not, etc.
