Description

[SAT-E-459]

User stories:
  • The notification should contain the link to render a report with more details, specifically about what systems (hosts) will be affected by that expiration
  • The link needs to have report inputs in the URL query (see RM issue #29037 for details)
~Possible approach 1:~
  • The link should take the user to a page in Foreman (maybe report templates?) and notify via Toast that report generation is started
  • Once the report task is complete, the user should be redirected to it as is currently the case for any other report
~Possible approach 2:~
  • The link should take the user directly to the Report Templates page for the Entitlements report, with inputs filled in
  • The user can decide at this point whether to check the checkbox to get the report via email
  • The user can then click Generate to generate the report as normal
