Hyperlink directly to an Activity when an Activity has been reassigned
May 04, 2010, 05:49:54 am
When an activity has been reassigned the assignee automatically recieves an email containing the activity details.
It would be v useful if this email also contained a hyperlink to the activity so the assignee can open the activity directly from the email.

Oliver - Seems like this would make sense. I've asked dave d (from Physician Health Project) if there's some reason we would NOT want that to happen. He should respond back here in a bit.

It slightly had to do with not being necessary because of the workflow, but mostly that I don't think it was about assignees, it was about send copy where the recipients may often be people without login accounts. So this logic should cover all bases:

If recipient has a login account
  include link
else
  don't
end if

OR, overkill but more precise:

If recipient has permission to edit this activity
  include edit link
else if recipient has permission to view this activity
  include view link
else
  don't
end if

Oliver - I think Dave D's 2nd approach (permission-based inclusion of edit / view links) makes the most sense, especially since we don't differentiate between sending copies of an activity to an assignees vs. sending a copy based on user checking the "Send a Copy" checkbox.

I've posted an issue which we'll try to squeeze in to 3.2:
