Links to appraisals

Totara 2.7.7

Hi,

I want to be able to provide a link in an Appraisal message that will take the recipient to the specifc appraisal to be viewed in the role they need to view it in. For example, a manager receives a message to say a user has passed a particular stage of the appraisal - and that they need to review the candidates work to date.

I have been able to embed a link in the email that opens the "As Manager" appraisal tab using the following format 

  • <a href="http://sitename.com/totara/appraisal/myappraisal.php?role=2>managers view generic</a>

or to a specific users (49 here) appraisal using:

  • <a href="http://sitename.com/totara/appraisal/myappraisal.php?role=2&amp;subjectid=49&amp;appraisalid=304">specific user appraisals as manager</a>

but I have found no way of pointing to a specific appraisal that may have multiple users assigned. Leaving out the subjected element results in a "Exception - You do not have the capabilities required to access this appraisal" message. 

Does anyone know of a way this can be achieved? Having a link embedded in the email would help managers know which appraisal is being referred to.

I have also looked at the Appraisal report sources but they do not include hyperlinks to an appraisal - just the appraisal name. A column that links to the appraisal would be a useful addition to the Appraisal status and Appraisal detail report sources.

Cheers
