Error on adding link to the Desc in Appraisal Template

[Former Member]

suggested in forum, I tried with the HTML code to add link to desc in Appraisal Template:

"<a href="http://www.google.com/>Go to the google page </a>".

getting this error:

Formatting removed due to invalid entries Tag <a> requires attribute "href" to be specified.

Please help.

<a href="url">Link text</a> 

dont forget to set the destination to a new window.

Thanks much, it worked.

Same way, if I have to add the link from MSS/ESS portal to the description in Template. Is it do able and how?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Same way, just replace the google URL with the portal URL. However, it might make more sense to implement a link badi (HRHAP00_LINK).

This way you can dynamically generate links which is safer in case server changes or something ike that. Also, the links in the description will be printed when the manager/employee prints the document. Not sure if thats ok.

THe link came up right in the ESS portal but on the MSS portal, it gave me the same error as mentioned before.

How should I go about the BAdI? Can you tell me the details, if someone new to this whole concept and not ABAPer?

Hi,

SE19, create new BAdI.. based on definition HRHAP00_LINK. You need to implement every method, but you can leave most without code.

in method SHOW_LINK_GET_URL just write

URL = "http://www.google.com"

Last question, Is this ABAPER or functional consultant's job?
