What is approval status?

Approval status describes the condition of the change or task in the current phase and in the Change Management workflow. Each change request phase is marked with one of the following status options:

Approved
Denied
Pending

Individual approval requirements within a phase are marked with one of the following status options:

Approved
Denied
Pending
Future

Pending approvals are awaiting action. Future approvals will be acted on following action on the pending approvals.

When a pending phase is approved, its status becomes approved. The next set of future approvals becomes pending, and subsequent approvals remain in the future status.
