Add Notes, Messages, Tags, and Reminders in the Messages Pane

CCH Tagetik Supply Chain Planning includes a Messages pane, which lets you add notes and attachments, send messages, set alerts and notifications, and more at any level in CCH Tagetik Supply Chain Planning, from a record to a dashboard. This pane is also know as the collaboration hub. You can tag relevant people (@bill_anderson) and they are alerted through the Messages pane. You can use hashtags (#BlueZone) to facilitate search for internal projects, specific products, and more.

Note: A best practice for hashtag use is to develop naming conventions to ensure they work as intended. For example, if one user types #MarNumbers and another types #marnums, they would return different results.
