Tag Users and Keywords in Candidate Notes

Tag Users

You can initiate a conversation with another user by tagging them in a note. You add a tag by entering the @ symbol on your keyboard, followed by the user’s name. When you enter @ to add a tag, Dayforce displays a list of the most recent users that you've accessed. You can select one of these tags, or begin typing a name to filter the suggestions. As you type, Dayforce displays a list of users who match the name, in alphabetical order. You can tag multiple users in one comment, but you must prefix each user with the "@" tag.

When you tag users, Dayforce sends them a notification in their Message Center.

Tag Keywords

You can tag keywords in your note using the "#" symbol. This allows you and other users to search notes using keywords, and allows Dayforce to suggest these keywords when users create notes.

After you define a custom keyword, Dayforce adds it to a list and displays it when other users enter # in a note.

When you enter # to add a keyword, Dayforce displays a list of the most recent keywords that you've accessed. You can select one of these keywords, or begin typing a word to filter the suggestions. As you type, Dayforce displays a list of keywords that match what you entered, in alphabetical order.

For example, if you have “Leadership” as a keyword and you start typing #le, then Dayforce narrows the list to display those keywords that begin with “le”, including “Leadership.”

You can tag multiple keywords in one note, but you must prefix each keyword with the "#" tag.
