For Managers and Employees, any Appraisals that require attention (including the availability of new Appraisals to do) can be found in the My Training tool, under the Fuel Gauge that the Appraisal has been placed under. Alternatively, if the My Tasks widget is available on the dashboard, any appraisals requiring your attention will also be listed there.
The first step of starting the Appraisal is opening it, by clicking on its name in either of these places. You will be taken to the Details Page, from which you can then start your Appraisal by clicking the Begin button.

The contents of this page will vary depending on the stage that the Appraisal is in, the role you are playing in the Appraisal, and the type of Appraisal being done.
