Approver Status

Approver Status

System-supplied; A list of approvers and their corresponding approval status. The table includes the following columns:

  • Type: The type of approver (User or Group).
  • Approver Name: The name of the User or Group who can approve the task instance.
  • Status: The approval status of the approver (Approved, Rejected, or Pending).
  • Reviewed By: If Type = Group; the User who approved or rejected the task instance on behalf of the Group.

When the Approver Status changes after an Approve or Reject operation, the Approval Criteria will be evaluated. If the Approval Criteria are satisfied, the instance will enter the Approved status. If the Approval Criteria cannot be satisfied (even if the remaining Pending Approvers approve), then there is no longer a path to approval, so the Approval Task Instance will enter the Rejected status. Otherwise, it will remain in the Approval Required status.

While the Approval instance remains in the Approval Required status, the Approver Status for any User or Group can be changed to Approved or Rejected.
