Displaying Approval Status of a Document

I'm new to Alfresco and took a document through an approval workflow, but can't figure out any simple way to see that this document has been approved! This seems really basic. I found this thread via the forum search:http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/end-user-discussions/alfresco-share/approval-sta

You need to do little bit of development for that.
Create one custom aspect with one property like wfstatus.
Create one rule which add that aspect with property value appropriately.

var props = new Array(1);
props["custom:wfstatus"] = "approved";
document.addAspect("custom:wfinfoaspect", props);

For showing it in the UI you need to add the config related to that aspect in the share-config-custom.xml

I find it bizzare that this is not an out-of-the-box requirement. Yes it has the ability to do approvals, No, you wont be able to see it. 😕
