SharePoint Designer 2010 Available Workflow Actions

A colleague of mine was asking for a comprehensive list of available workflow actions in SharePoint Designer 2010.  I did some searches and couldn’t find the details so I thought I would provide them here.

Core Actions

• Add a Comment 
• Add Time to Date 
• Do Calculation 
• Log to History List 
• Pause for Duration 
• Pause until Date 
• Send an Email 
• Set Time Portion of Date/Time Field
• Set Workflow Status 
• Set Workflow Variable 
• Stop Workflow

Document Set Actions

• Capture a version of the Document Set 
• Send Document Set to Repository 
• Set Content Approval Status for the Document Set 
• Start Document Set Approval Process

List Actions

• Check In Item 
• Check Out Item 
• Copy List Item 
• Create List Item 
• Declare Record 
• Delete Item 
• Discard Check Out Item 
• Set Content Approval Status
• Set Field in Current Item 
• Undeclare Record 
• Update List Item 
• Wait for Field Change in Current Item

Relational Actions

• Lookup Manager of a User

Task Actions

• Assign a Form to a Group 
• Assign a To-do Item 
• Collect Data from a User 
• Start Approval Process 
• Start Custom Task Process

Utility Actions

• Extract Substring from End of String

I was disappointed to report that there is still no out of the box action for calling a Web Service or action to bring back other attributes of the User’s Profile.  Custom or Third-Party actions will still have to be used to support this.
