Properties

The following table lists the properties of the Approval object:

Property Description

ApprovalDuration

Optional DateTime property. Indicates the duration of the workflow. When the time in duration is reached after being submitted, the approval is escalated. The second time the duration is reached the approval will timeout and be set to denied. If there is no escalation defined in the approval, the approval will timeout after duration is reached the first time.

ApprovalResponse

Optional multi-valued Reference property that represents a list of references to each ApprovalResponse resource that is associated with this approval.

ApprovalThreshold

Optional Integer property. Indicates how many approvals are required before the approval object is complete.

Approver

Optional multi-valued Reference property that defines valid approvers. The reference will be resolved by the approval activity to only reference Person resources.

ComputedActor
