Workflow Soluiton

Is there any way to montior workflows that haven't begun yet?  It may sound strange, but consider this example:  There are four steps for a new hire process, each within its own DialogWorkflow component.  Let's say watching the status of the third step is very important for HR.  The third step requires information from the first and second step to operate correctly.  If the first and second steps have not yet been completed, it seems that the third step will not show up as a task, and HR may not understand why.  To them, it is still a task, it just hasn't been started yet.  Basically, is there a way to inventory all the dailog workflows in a workflow and present them all as tasks in processmanager, but just show them as "not yet started...waiting on task 1 and 2"?

Keep track of all tasks that need to be run in your own database table. Create your own reporting page from that table, where you can track the status of those tasks. In your example : your workflow at the beginning you would log 3 tasks as not started. As each one is completed you change the status. That way HR can see that what the overall status of the process is, and still see that they have a task coming.
