This method returns the approval status for the inbox item. The status is one of the following: Approved, Declined, or In Progress. You must pass in the Approval Level Name, Approval Item ID, Inbox Type, and Object Id.

SetApprovalDecision Method

This method sets the approval status for a given stage level. You must pass in the Stage ID, Inbox Type, Object ID, Seq Num, Inbox Item Id, Owner Info Id, and Action LIC.

NOTE:  Only Approval Type EMPLOYEE is supported. Position-based and Either approval is not supported with the Universal Inbox. These are only supported with the My Approval Inbox (Siebel Industry Applications).

However, Position Type Approval is supported in the sense that it dynamically routes the approval to the primary employee for the position. But it is not the standard Siebel position-based visibility.
