Useful link for assessors

Show assessors a link on the assessment tab, optionally filled with a value from the application form (for example a postcode).

Written by Joseff Davies

You can add a link that appears on the assessment tab when someone is reviewing an application. Use it for fund guidelines, a store finder, a map of your venues, or any other reference site. Optionally, Plinth can append one query parameter from the applicant's answers - for example ?postcode=A1+234 from a postcode field.


Set it up

  1. Open your fund and go to the Funding step in fund setup.

  2. In Useful link for assessors, enter the Link URL (must start with https:// or http://).

  3. To append a value from the application form, turn on Enable query parameter, enter a Parameter name (e.g. postcode), and choose the Application form field to read from.

  4. Save the fund.

You need an application form on the Communications step before you can map a query parameter.


What assessors see

When an assessor opens an application, a Useful link: banner appears near the top of the assessment tab. The link opens in a new tab. If you configured a query parameter and the applicant answered that field, the URL includes their value automatically.


Example

Base URL: https://example.com/venues
Parameter name: postcode
Form field: applicant's postcode answer

Assessor sees: https://example.com/venues?postcode=A1+234

If the applicant left that field blank, assessors see the base URL without the parameter.
