Hi everyone,

New here and needing help...

I have been asked to investigate the possibility of using Outlook 2007 to automate the Performance Appraisal and Review of employees in my company.

What should happen is..

1.The Employee will fill in an email template perhaps with the Performance Review Excel Sheet regarding their achievements etc during the year.

2. When they have done filling it in and click send it should be sent automatically with the Excel sheet attached to their respective Line Manager.

3. The Line Manager will in turn update the Excel File with their comments and when they click send it should be sent automatically to the respective top management.

Is there a way to do this using Outlook?

Thanks everyone...

Lyndon

it would require workflow.

do you use sharepoint? That might be better for this - but either way,
you'll need to do some forms or workflow design.

We have MOSS 2007...

I am new to Sharepoint so I hope you can help me understand...

Thanks Diane

It's possible to do it in Outlook - there is an outlook.programs_forms
newsgroup on this server. This really isn't the place for sharepoint help
(there are sharepoint groups here too).... you can make libraries with forms
users can fill out. You can also use Infopath (if each user has it).

It depends on which app you are working in. g Outlook forms sending data
to sps, use outlook for everything related to the outlook side. If
connecting to the sps database isn't working, go to sps. Designing
libraries or sps forms, sps forums can assist.

Here is a link to MS Office Online video discussing creating workflows in S.P.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sh...CH100667661033

Hope this helps understand the workflow process....
