Approvals reports

I have a custom object that has Approvals workflow.  How can I create a report with the approval information details?

Currently Approval Info details are not reportable.

But you can do it by creating a separate custom object  and populate with all the details required from the Reporting objects.

Can you elaborate on that imran?  So after i create a separate object, how do I populate the details from the approvals info?

There are some approval objects like processinstance, steps, processsteps.

You can have a schedulable class that populates the custom approval reporting object.

 

You can query the processinstance object using the id of the custom object, and thereafter you can get more details from processsteps, step objects.

Looks little tricky, but still doable.

 

Hope this helps.

Let me know if you have any queries.

That does seem tricky.  How do I find out the API names of the approval objects & fields?
