The new approval bar will look similar to the following screenshot:
 
 [{Image src='EP-WP-APPROVALS-8.jpg' width='600' align='center' link='attach/EP-WP-APPROVALS-8/EP-WP-APPROVALS-8.jpg}]

The new information dialog may be viewed by clicking on the “I” icon on the far right of the screen.
[{Image src='EP-WP-APPROVALS-9.jpg' width='400' align='center' link='attach/EP-WP-APPROVALS-9/EP-WP-APPROVALS-9.jpg}] 
The quick approve is shown by a single green check mark on the approval step waiting approval if the user has approval rights.

The approval step description is emphasized in bold text while the approval step status is displayed in normal text.

A new popup menu of “allowed” actions on the current step waiting approval may be viewed by mouse right-click anywhere in the current step box.
 [{Image src='EP-WP-APPROVALS-10.jpg' width='600' align='center' link='attach/EP-WP-APPROVALS-10/EP-WP-APPROVALS-10.jpg}]
The popup menu will include the approver name for the step as the first item and approval actions to approve, decline or send back with comments.

Selecting an approval action with comments brings up the [approval dialog], which allows comments to be added for any approval action made for the step.

After submitting the dialog for the approval action with comments, the approved step will turn gray and will have a new [popup menu] generated for its new status. Right-clicking now on the approved step, the approved status of the step and a sub-menu containing the comments made for the approval will be displayed.

Similar to the [Self Service] implementation, the [popup menu] will be displayed even if there are no approval actions available for the [approval step]. In such a case, the [approver name] or approval step status and a submenu of approval action comments will be displayed.

When an approval [entity] (eg: [Personnel Actions], [Applications], [Postings], [Time Sheets]) is in a status before approval or after approval, the [approval bar] will show a [context message] definable by each client to show pertinent information about that [entity].

[{Image src='EP-WP-APPROVALS-13.jpg' width='400' align='center' link='attach/EP-WP-APPROVALS-13/EP-WP-APPROVALS-13.jpg}] 
The context message is definable by [table alias] in [IMMS]. These messages can be [translated|translation]if necessary. The following displays which context messages are used for the approvals.
