Viewing a Document’s Approval Status

In APM, documents can have the following approval statuses. The status icons are displayed in lists of documents.

Status	Description
Approval not required	The document does not require approval. It is assumed to be approved.
Unapproved	The document requires approval. It has not yet been sent for approval.
Waiting for approval	The document requires approval. It has been sent for approval but is not yet approved. If multiple approvals are required, the document might have been approved by one or more approvers but still requires additional approval.
Approved	The document has been approved.
Rejected	The document has been returned by an approver without being approved. If multiple approvals were required, one or more of the approvers might have approved it before it was rejected.

Each approval status can be assigned an icon to provide a visual cue to the current status for documents that require approval.

Note: Project statuses are more flexible than approval statuses for other documents. The statuses for projects at your site might not match the statuses described above.
