SharePoint Solutions has released Workflow Essentials for SharePoint 2010, adding 24 new workflow activities and two new workflow conditions to those which are available out-of-the-box in SharePoint Designer 2010’s workflow designer menu.

Workflow activities include:
* “Loop Through List Items” workflow activity;
* “Start Another Workflow” activity;
* “Create a SharePoint Site” workflow activity;
* “Grant Permission on an Item” workflow activity; and
* “Add a User to a SharePoint Group” workflow activity

These new options appear in SharePoint Designer 2010’s workflow designer interface as though they were built in, so there’s no extra program or interface to learn.

Workflow Essentials for SharePoint 2010 costs $US1,190 per web front-end server (including the mandatory one-year maintenance agreement) for unlimited usage.
