We are thinking of using SharePoint 2010 for an appraisal/360 process. The workflow is simple.
- HR Create appraisal for users
- User fills it in
- Manager fills it in
- User accepts appraisal
- Manager accepts appraisal
- appraisal is complete
The problem I have is only allowing some fields to be accessible by some users. IE the user can not change the manager fields etc.
A user can only see their form. A manager can see all their staff forms.
The normal sort of appraisal setup.
How would you go about doing this?
My idea is as follows.
- Create a custom list to hold the appraisal information. Do not give any one access to list.
- Create a webpart that will create an appraisal item. This will set a field to the user name of the user. It will also have a field to set the manager.
- Create a webpart that the user/manager sees. This will return back list items where the user has been set as the user or manager. It will only return the field items the user has access to.
- Depending on the sate of the form (held in a column) the web part will allow them to progress the form along.
I imagine I would use a WCF to post data back and forth from the webpart to the server. Mainly because I have more knowledge in this then with SharePoint.
Doing it like this I could still set events based on the state to trigger workflows etc to send out emails.
Does this sound a viable idea?
