Customer requirement

 We need an option for the user to abstain or otherwise indicate no interest or no input


Preliminary Concepts

The 'Abstain' is a configurable option of the Herzum Approval app.

It's possible to configure it in the Global Configuration administration screen.

Solution 

The customer requirement has been satisfied through the configuration of a Abstain Approval Action from Other Customization section.

Starting from the issue view, in the Approval panel it will appears the bar status, which will show the percentage of approval actions of abstain (blue label)

and the button which will allow the action of abstention (blue button).


If an user abstains the panel will be showed as following.

When an user abstain, his decision is assumed neutral with regards to the decisions expressed by the other approvers.

It will be considered as a tacit approbation if other approvers approve, a rejection if the other approvers reject.
