Adding @mentions to dashboard

It would be so helpful to have a widget that shows all the @mentions that someone currently has. My leadership only uses their dashboard when in Wrike and overlooks their inbox. It would be helpful to have all their @mentions in one place in their dashboard so that they don't miss anything that the team may have questions about.

This would be lovely, almost like an Inbox widget straight in our dashboard where we actively reference for work itself.

Interesting idea, @Emily Bressler. I will share it with our Dashboards team. Thanks!

+1 from us too. Our users often miss @mentions because they don’t check the Inbox, and fewer clicks really matter for adoption.

A dashboard widget showing where you’ve been @mentioned (ideally on active tasks) would be a game changer. Creating a tasks just to respond isn’t something our users are willing to do.

+1 to this. Great idea @Emily Bressler! I agree with @Charlotte Wicht about fewer clicks. The key value for me would be not just seeing that I was @mentioned , but also where that comment lives (task, project, folder, etc.), since that context is often critical. Without it, you still have to click around to understand what action is needed.

A dashboard widget that surfaces an assignee’s @mentions with their originating location would be incredibly powerful, especially for teams who work primarily from dashboards and don’t rely on the Inbox. This would help ensure important questions and conversations don’t get missed while keeping everything anchored to the work itself. So good!!

One additional thought: if the dashboard also includes the AI highlights widget, I’m curious whether @mentions could be elevated when certain phrases are used (for example, “Immediate Action Required”). That kind of signal could help teams quickly identify high‑priority mentions without adding extra clicks, while still keeping everything tied directly to the work.

For now we find a solution for a team is to "star" the tasks when they get a mention to be able to have it in the dashboard. I was lucky to have the team fine with making an extra click. but the other team prefer to wait for a better solution.
