Customize Approval History Related List

HI,

 

Can anyone help me out with suggestions on how can i customize the approval history buttons.

I have a requirement where once the record has finished the stages of approval the submit for approval button should be disabled. Also how can i customize the Approve/Reject buttons.

 

Please Suggest

To disable or making  the button in active approval process button you can do the following:

 

Create a field called Test(Number field) with the default value in it "0".

In the approval process entry criteria put this test field(Test__c) as one of the entry condition, example: (your exisiting entry criteria) && Test__c=0

When the record gets approved in the last step update the field "Test__c" with value as "1"(using the approval field update).

 

Now when the user clicks on the "Submit for Approval" button then a new page will come up stating "Approval process does not meet the entry criteria".

 

Hope this answers your question, if yes select this as the answer.
