17.5 View Approval Status

The Approval Status column displays the current approval status of a workflow process.

A workflow process will display one of the following statuses at any given time:

Processing

Indicates that one or more workflow activities are awaiting approval from the approver. For example, two approval activities are defined in a workflow process, one is approved, and the other is pending approval. Because the workflow process is still in progress in this case, so the approval status is displayed as Processing.

Approved

Indicates that all approval activities in the workflow process are complete.

Denied

Indicates that the approver rejected one or more approval activities in the workflow process.

Retracted

Indicates that the requester retracted the permission access request. In this case, the workflow process is terminated before its completion.

Error

Indicates that one or more approval activities in the workflow process are not working properly. In this case, the workflow process is terminated before its completion. The errors can occur due to many reasons, some of them are listed below:

  • An error occurred when calling the token end point

  • An error occurred while initializing the scripting engine or the scripting context

  • When forwarding a task, the Activity ID or Addressee details are missing or empty
