adding new approval status in approval tracking
Accepted answer
This is an example for how to not do it. The initial question is fine. The other users creating an answer with the same question is not OK. If you want to comment on a question, use a comment. If you have a question, ask your own question. Please stop creating answers with your own question.
As far as I can tell, you can not customize approvals. I am not aware of a mechanism for it.

For our users, the more annoying problem in this area is that if you select an Approval or type "Review", the prompts asks you to "Add Approvers" and that not only causes some confusion but makes some of them angry. In general, I think there should be some ability to reuse the lower level of the process configuration for Approvals. Or, make it more intelligent to know the prompt to add reviewers should say that instead of Add Approvers.

Jan 24 '13, 11:39 a.m.I have a similiar situation: The customer is not happy to "Approve" (dropdown) a Review. He asked if he could change the "Approve" state if the type is "Review". Does anybody out there know how to do this?
