Multi approval of the workitem can be handled by custom UWL configuration. There is nothing releated to workflow. For custom configuration of UWL search in SDN you will get the material. Put the question in EP forum you will get releated answers.
Suppose if multiple persons raise workflows like Leave, Travel, Claims, Loan every workflow is different. You cannot have single workflow and single work item. The work item comes to UWL for the approver. In the UWL you can customize the screen put a radio button in the screen such that only approve and reject button. So every wprk item can be just selected with approve and reject radio button on the UWL itself. Finaly update button will update the entier page with the approvals. But this is very very very difficult.
Think logically Y the approver wants to do mass approval. Suppose the approver receives the leave work item without seeing the leave quota will he approve?. Similiarly for travel without seeing the expense amount will the approver approve the trip.
UWL is for all the module like Travel, Leave, Claims, Loan etc. Every module the approval screen itslef different. So mass approval is not possible.
If ESS is implemented only for Leave or Travel or Payroll then its possible. In that case customize the UWL with radio button and after mass approve or rejection finally need to update. But this is absolutly not advisable since every person the data are different. So mass approval is not advisable.
As said in previous post, it is possible to handle multi-approvals with custom checkboex within UWL. I don't totally agree with Vijay about the difficulty caused by the possible fact that there are various different approval tasks. You could always create separate views for leave requests etc. and then handle the mass approval only within that view (just an idea).
But in general this the leave request mass approval will not be that easy even if you manage to get the mass-approval logic into the UWL. You still need to to build some custom business logic to se the leave requests approved (or rejected) depending on the manager's decision. I would really consider about if this is worth to do.
Did i said any thing wrong?. I totally agree with you that business logic has to be written in UWL. I think nothing can be done on work flow side. This statement clarify me. Even i want to know the answer.
