SharePoint DEsigner 2010 - how to get workflow status?

Question

I have a SPD 2010 workflow that uses the start approval process task. This activity allows user to approve or deny a request from the task item. If the user rejects the item, then the workflow status gets set to "Rejected".

My question is how do i get the current workflow status value? i.e. if the user rejects it, then i want the workflow to branch. But how do i branch based on workflow status?

I tried Current Item: Approval Status. But that does not seem to be correct.

thanks

Answer 3

The workflow status are constants (integers), so you'll need to refer to a list like:

• Status: Value
• Not Started: 0
• Failed on Start: 1
• In Progress: 2
• Error Occurred: 3
• Canceled: 4
• Completed: 5
• Failed on Start(Retrying): 6
• Error Occurred (Retrying): 7
• Canceled: 15
• Approved: 16
• Rejected: 17

So you'd need to check if Approval Status equals 17.
