Hyperlink from Email to Folder?

Information Systems

V7: We don't want our staff to have to constantly monitor their Metastorm inbox. Instead, we're going to send an email when an action is assigned to them.

 

It would be nice if that email could contain a hyperlink directly to the folder that requires their input.

 

I can't see any way to do this as the inbox is completedly controlled by Javascript.

 

Any thoughts?

The answer to this question can be found in the Web Authors Guide, around page 20.  You just need to form a hyperlink using the proper syntax.

if you are linking into a SSO environment - the link is similar to below
