Use this interactive demo to learn how to mention and tag teammates inside a Jira ticket.

Quick summary

Tagging people in Jira lets you mention teammates directly inside a ticket's description using the @ symbol, keeping collaboration and notifications in one place. This quick process requires no special permissions — just open a ticket, type @, select a user, and save.


Steps

  1. In your Jira space, find and select a ticket you want to update.
  2. Tap the Description field to begin editing the ticket.
  3. Click the message box and type '@' to trigger the user mention menu.
  4. Choose the specific user you want to tag from the dropdown list.
  5. Once done, click 'Save' to apply the changes to the ticket.
  6. The selected user will now be tagged in your Jira ticket.

📌 Why this matters

Tagging people in Jira streamlines team collaboration by letting you mention specific teammates directly inside a ticket's description, ensuring the right people are notified instantly. This built-in @mention feature eliminates the need to switch between tools to flag a colleague on a task or issue. For teams managing projects at scale, Jira's tagging capability keeps communication contextual, auditable, and tied directly to the work. It's a simple but powerful feature that reduces miscommunication and accelerates issue resolution across software development and project management workflows.
