Reorder tagging within the Alteryx Community to better represent active users

Hello!
Currently, tagging is pretty easy in the Alteryx Community, just type '@' followed by your favourite user, and you can add them to the post. 

However, I've found sometimes it can require typing their full name to find users. I think this could be improved by having a 'suggested', or reordering of the tagging functionality. Let me demonstrate:

If I want to tag @patrick_digan (Sorry Patrick, just using you as an example :) )

I can type @patrick and he does not show up:

TheOC_0-1668596498657.png

This makes me sad. Clearly I love my name displayed in his notifications.


The following accounts are displayed (sensibly, due to naming):

What I'd quite like is a couple of spots at the top of the searching functionality to be highlighted, as a suggested tag based on what you have typed. I think it would be sensible to have this determined by any of:

  • Highest Rank (sensible, the sorting already exists in the graphql):
    TheOC_3-1668596963538.png
  • Most recently/most often tagged
  • Most active
  • Potentially even more interesting, who has been seen most recently in threads (although I imagine this isn't possible easily).

 

And this would look like:

TheOC_4-1668597247558.png

(yes, I do have certified MS Paint Master on my CV)

This should just to make it a bit easier to tag those most likely to be searched for on the Community.

 

 

Cheers!

I've always had a quibble about the results that come up when tagging in the Community. Check out this idea for another example on how to improve this functionality: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Community-Ideas/Keep-Users-who-are-Already-on-the-Current-P...

Turns out I also like to use @patrick_digan in my examples 😁
