I have built a (Noddy) backoffice app which identifies all pages awaiting approval, so the Editors don't have to trawl the site looking for these pages.
It relies on a View built into the SQL Server database but, whilst really, really simple, it works.
Tooting my own horn - I'm part of the web team at USC, we built that workflow solution about 4 years ago.
I've since re-written it as an Umbraco package. It's in beta, not in the package repo just yet, but available here -> https://github.com/nathanwoulfe/Plumber
I've placed the necessary code in GitHub as requested (with a bunch of caveats).
Hopefully it will help someone out there.
I've put a precis of my notes there as well.
I've moved onto another project for the moment but please feel free to use the code any way you like but remember to test, test and test again, ideally on a TEST site :-D
Workflow - can I have one just like this?
The University of the Sunshine Coast have a demo video of Workflow on their site.
Anyone got any idea of how I can get one just like it?
Here's the link: http://www.usc.edu.au/help/getting-started-in-umbraco/workflows
PS: I posted this before and marked the reply as the solution before I checked it out fully. It's the UI in the video that I want.
PS: I have contacted them but unfortunately, it was something they wrote themselves.

This sounds like a real timesaver.. care to share as a package or GitHub repository?
Hi John
Yes of course I will.
Like I said, it is very simple. I have used code from a number of sources in building this backoffice app, so I'll include those links as well.
I haven't used github before, so this should be fun.
Thanks
Muiris
PS: Give me a day or two to get it done.

PS: It does rely on the users following a simple workflow.
