Workflow Conductor for SharePoint 2010 Release Notes
R3.0 11/8/2012

New Features:

  • Delay Until Condition is Met - A new widget that delays a workflow until a custom, designer-defined condition is met. Custom User Task Form - Assigns tasks for any number of users to complete a form that includes selecting from a set of designer-defined choices. Based on user responses and customizable business logic, a single outcome is stored that can be used to affect things like workflow branching.
  • Email-based approvals - Some or all users can now manage approvals directly from email, without having to log into SharePoint.
  • Required Fields - Fields in the Initialization and Collect Data from User forms can now force users to enter values for some or all fields.
  • Repeat for Each Item - The targeted list items can now be limited to a specific list view rather than the entire list.

  • Approval and Feedback Attachments - Email attachments can now be added using lookups for Request Approval and Request Feedback, including "Current Item".
  • Improved lookups - Many lookup properties have been updated to provide text boxes that allow multiple lookups and text to be combined directly, and most User/Group lookups have been updated to allow lookups to be set directly from the widget settings pane. Lookups to multi-select choice fields are now supported as well.

  • Send Email - Hyperlinks are now easier to add to emails, and email priority can be set using lookups.
