Commenting in Datapeople
Using comments to collaborate in Datapeople is easy! Comment threads live on the right-hand side of the page and can be seen by anyone who has access to that page. Comments are a great place to bring in teammates who should weigh in on the content of a job post or the progress of a requisition.

Commenting works a bit differently between the editor and reports, so check out each page above to see how they work!
Here are some basic functions of commenting in Datapeople that apply across pages.
Adding comments
Comment directly in the commenting log on the right-hand side of the screen,
or comment on specific content.
Tagging, replying, and resolving threads
If you tag someone, they will receive an email notification with the content of the comment as well as a direct link to the job post or requisition report:
Use the reply button directly underneath a comment to continue the conversations and keep threads organized:
To unsubscribe from or resolve a thread, click on the three horizontal dots by the original comment:
From this menu, you can unsubscribe from a comment thread (meaning you will no longer receive email notifications for it) or resolve the comment thread. Threads can be resolved by anyone with access to the job post or requisition report. You can also edit a comment or permanently delete it.
You can see resolved threads by clicking "Show resolved threads." From here, you have the option to reopen a thread.
Note: you can always delete a comment, but once a comment is deleted, it can no longer be seen. We recommend resolving comments instead of deleting if you'd like the option to potentially see and reopen them later on.
Recent activity on homepage
Whenever someone mentions you in a comment, you'll see it in the Collaborate section on the right-hand side of the homepage:
Clicking on the comment will bring you to the page where the comment was entered.
Notifications
Whenever you are tagged in a comment, you'll receive an email notification with a link to the page where you can go to see and respond to the comment. You can also reply directly to the email and your response will be added to the comment thread in Datapeople.
You can also choose to add the Cord app on Slack to receive notifications there (Cord is the software we use to implement commenting functionality). To connect Slack, click the three horizontal dots at the top right of any comment and select the "Connect to share" option:
Once Slack is connected, you'll receive notifications there anytime someone tags you in a comment. You can "Reply in thread" to the message in Slack to have your responses added to the thread in Datapeople:
