Milestone configures for Approval & Reject Flows.

Question

Hi All, 
 here i using Milestone for my App in Summary(view) interface, so based on status value the Milestone Bar should work. 
 in table, "status" containing statuses: "Assigne", "Approved", "Return" and "Reject" , which represent the different statuses of a request. 
 I have the requirement of a milestone where first step should always be "Addproduct", 
 
 then next possible steps shown are "Approved", by Manager and "Approved" by supplier it will complete. 
 
 but when shopmanager "Reject" show like. 
 > 
 similarly, Supplier too,

You can certainly use if() to display different milestone components, but don't forget about the showWhen parameter which can also be used for the same result and tends to be cleaner overall, in my experience. Additionally, you can use 1 component and have the steps be dynamic based on what occurred in the process (as in the example below). 
 As far as design, I typically do not change the Milestone component steps based on the history of the process, this can be confusing for reviewers. You may be able to safely append the approval disposition, but I typically leave these as only the step names, and have a History section somewhere below to show what has occurred previously. 
 Also to note, within the milestone components the active parameter is looking for a single integer value to determine which single step is active, it will not accept a list of values as in your example. 
 a!localVariables(
 local!managerReject: true, /* logic to determine if the manager rejected */
 local!supplierReject: false, /* logic to determine if the supplier rejected */
 local!active: 1, /* which step is the process at */
 

 a!milestoneField(
 label: "Workflow",
 steps: {
 "Add Product",
 concat("Manager Approval",if(local!managerReject," (Rejected)","")),
 concat("Supplier Approval",if(local!supplierReject," (Rejected)","")),
 },
 active: local!active
 )
)
