is there a way to get the Approval "Type"?

[Jason Stuart]

Is there a way to get an Approval "Type" in ServiceNOW?  I don't mean if it was a group approval, or a user approval I am referring to the following:

Say I have a Business Project Manager Approval, A Technical Approval, and a Supervisor Approval.  When looking at the record for approvals, they all show just that - a generic approval record.  I am looking to see if there is a way to se which "Approval" that belonged to.

For example:

Service Request

Approvals:

Business Project Manager: User1
Technical Approval: User 2
Supervisor Approval: User 3

Hi Jason,

Considering you are using workflow for triggering approvals then why not create Workflow stage name corresponding to each approval activity.

Alternatively, you need to create a field name Approval Type maybe on Approval table & populate as & when & according to approval that are triggered.

Actually - this makes a heck of alot of sense.  I may have been thinking of this to broadly.  Thank you!
