Statuses of approval invites

Approval requests can reflect different statuses:

1. Not invited: When approvers have been added to an approval step, but before that step has started - those approvers will show a badge 'Not invited'

2. Awaiting approval: Once the step has started, all listed approvers automatically receive an invitation to approve that asset. In the approval menu, those approvers now show a badge 'Awaiting approval', along with a cross to cancel the invitation.

3. Cancelled: In case a pending approval invitation gets canceled, that cancellation also shows as a badge ('Canceled') next to the approver, along with an arrow icon to permit easy re-invitation

4. Approved / Rejected: When an approval request is completed by the approver, his response reflects in a badge ('Approved' or 'Rejected') next to his name. In addition, you also see the date on which he approved it, and the iteration he approved. An arrow icon is also reflected, to permit easy reinvitation.

5. No response: In a situation where an approval step has reached its minimum conditions to be ready, an Asset Manager can choose to mark that step as Complete. When this happens, any remaining approval requests that were still awaiting a response, now reflect a badge "No response". Invited approvers can no longer respond/open that approval request.
