The Approval Action activity performs an approval action on the current task.
Use this activity to mark the current task record as approved or rejected.
Note: When an Approval Action activity is used to mark a task
approved, the activity marks all pending approvals as No Longer
Required. This activity behaves differently from Set
Values or Run Script when used to set the
Approval field's value.
Results
The result value of the activity is the final approval disposition selected by the approver. The result value can be Approved or Rejected. A workflow designer can assign a result value using the activity.result variable from within a script field of the activity.
