Easy and efficient communication within your team is vital to ensure smooth operation. However, it can be difficult to keep up with everything happening when juggling so many jobs.
We've made it easier for your whole team to communicate and see exactly what's happening with a job using the Job Activity Feed and Comments.
The best thing about the activity feed and comments is that the whole team can see them, so they don't need to keep coming to you to ask questions about what's happening.
How to Leave a Comment in the Boatyard Dashboard
While viewing a job detail page, scroll to the Job Activity section at the bottom.
At the top of this section, you will notice a field where you can type your comment. When you're finished, just click the Send arrow icon at the end.
How to Tag Users in the Boatyard Dashboard
Tagging a user in a comment is as easy as typing "@"!
When you are leaving a comment in the job activity feed you can use the @ symbol to bring up a list of names. Select the person and continue typing your message.
For example - If I want to tag John Smith, I would start typing @john sm.... and then select his name from the options that are displayed.
The person that you tagged will receive a notification letting them know they were mentioned in a comment. They can click through the notification to view the message.
