Approval: Hiding the ticket?

Hi all,
I’ve followed the wiki instructions for getting group approval
working using the AdminCC field in RT 3.4.2 . The approval process works
a treat to the point that the ticket appears in the “10 Newest Unowned”
as “(pending approval)” but if you inspect any of the queues directly
the ticket appears simple as status “New” and you can click into and
“work” on a ticket right up to actually clicking ‘update ticket’ at
which point it then refuses it bases on “Unresolved Dependencies”.

Is it possible to prevent a ticket being 'examined' at all untill 

its approval ticket is approved?? My guys have a carry over from their
last system where they ‘click into’ a ticket first, work on it, THEN
update the notes… which means that they can actually have worked on a
non=approved ticket without actually being aware of that untill AFTER
they have done the work :frowning:

Is there a way to perhaps just HIDE non-approved tickets? I guess 

its a tweak on teh SELECT’s for the queue lists… ANy suggestions
guys!?!?!?

Why don’t you create the tickets in a queue that only people with
authority to approve can view? Then as part of the approval
process, move it into a queue with the appropriate watchers to
resolve it.
