> ℹ️ This page is about Canned Responses for **Jira Server **and **Data Center. **If you are using **Jira Cloud** – please see the **[cloud documentation](https://apps.appf.re/crt/doc)**.

**Canned Responses for Jira** support mentioning people while putting templates in comments.

Jira uses markdown to generate rich comments and we need to generate piece of markdown as well to make proper mentions. See [Jira WikiRenderer documentation](https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=links).

# How can I create mention for a user field?

| **Particular User** | [~username] | *username* is Jira username of user you want to mention |
| **Assignee** | [~$assigneeName$] |  |
| **Current User** | [~$currentUserName$] |  |

You don't have to do anything. Canned Responses will generate usual Jira user mention. Email notifications will be send according to your notification scheme.
