Comments does not target the people when used @

Hi all,
I'm using work apps to collaborate with multiple depts. I have collaborator access and when my team uses @sample name to target someone to get notified, 1. the names don't take @, and 2. no one is getting notified.
I really need some help here to figure this out. I am not sharing a workspace, I'm using a report in the app where they have editor access.
Thanks a lot =)

Hi@SIS
Currently WorkApps does not fully support the Smartsheet @mention functionality.
You can send notifications using @mention if the shared users have access to the sheets/reports in Smartsheet embedded in the WorkApp, and if you type out their email address after the @ sign (versus finding the Contact name).
Please let the Product team know of your feature request byfilling out this form, here.
Cheers,
Genevieve

Is there documentation available that shows what other Smartsheet functionality aside from @ mentions is not supported by WorkApps? People are stumbling upon these gaps and learning the hard way that their work in Smartsheets is not directly transferable to WorkApps. Having a list of what to expect will help users understand if the WorkApps tool is a good fit for them.

Hey@SJ Sellers
No, there isn't an article that details the difference between working in the Smartsheet application directly on a sheet and using that sheet within a Workapp. Please feel free to add your feedback to this Help Article at the bottom:Add Smartsheet content to your WorkApp

The problem is with a misplaced parenthesis. That zero at the end is technically part of the INDEX function, but you want it as part of the MATCH function to denote an exact match.<\/p>
