VirtoSoftware has released a new version of Virto Workflow Monitor - a web part for monitoring active workflows in Microsoft SharePoint.

Compatible with both SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010, it allows administrators to be fully informed on all running workflows as well as related issues and errors.

The new version of the web part provides SharePoint administrators with additional tools for searching and filtering workflows, reporting and workflow management.

Although standard Microsoft SharePoint-based solutions include dozens of interrelated workflows, more complex solutions will require hundreds and even thousands of workflows. In such a case, the administrator's major task is to provide stable functioning of all the workflows.

Using the standard SharePoint tools only, in order for the administrator to check statuses of some processes, the administrator will have to open each of them manually.

Virto Workflow Monitor:
- displays all the workflows running on a site;
- provides information about their source lists and items;
- quickly switch between the list view and a workflow details view;
- generates a number of workflow related reports; and
- provides administrator with effective tools for workflow and data management such as sorting, filtering and group operations.

The new version of the web part adds additional search and filtering tools. These are designed to allow administrators to quickly find workflows with a particular status within a site or site collection, manually or automatically restart all the cancelled workflows, and receive a variety of workflow status graphical reports.
