Assign a user to the cell in SAP SAC

[ilona2]

In my project we have a dashboard in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAP SAC), where we are looking for such functionality, that someone could click on a cell and add another user's login e.g.@ilona2 and type their comment/question there. In our solution we can't use the cell comments and the dimension comment is already in use. We would like to have a similar functionality as in Google sheets, where in any cell someone can type another person's login with "@" sign and that person would be automatically notified and know directly where is the issue in the data.

Hi, cell commenting seems the appropriate solution based on your description. Could you please explain why you can't use cell commenting?

Commenting in a cell (not a column) does work, but assining users with @ apparentyl is not supported .... 😕 ...

Cell commenting doesnt work for us because of conflicts between different hierarchies and filters on different pages (comments entered on one page don't appear on the other one). Dimension comments work good so far, however we lack the functionality of notifying users for example in the chat or email with the @User assignments, pointing to the specific cell in teh table. In Google docs such things seems super easy and handy. I find it disappointing that SAC doesnt allow such thing (or I didnt find such solution yet).
