Creating an Approval Status

Create a custom Approval Status so that you can associate it with an Activity in a Workflow Process Definition. Any item that finishes the Activity then gets the Approval Status. Approval Statuses are system-wide and can be used in any Process Definition.

Before you begin

To create an Approval Status you must have Workflow Management rights.

Procedure

  1. Access the Content Manager Explorer website.
  2. Open the Ribbon toolbar Workflow tab and click Open approval status list.
    The Approval Status List window opens.
  3. Click the Add button.

    An Add window opens.

  4. Type the value of the Approval Status you want to add and click OK.
    The Approval Status is added to the bottom of the list.
  5. If you want to change the position of the new Approval Status, select it and click Move Up, or Move Down.
  6. Click OK to save the changes.

Results

An Approval Status is added to the Content Manager.
