How to search in Flows

Dear all,

I have a question of which i can not find the answer in this forum. Perhaps the answer is already given but I use the wrong search words?
Anyhow, In the past we hardcoded group assignments to groups in flows we created in flow designer.
at this moment w no longer do it that way but there are still al lot of flows that are written that way. In my believe not a good practice but it is often done that way.

Now if a group is no longer used we deactivate this group but when it is mentioned somewhere in the flows it is very difficult to find them.  As we have a large number of  these flows we now have to open them flow by flow and search for this. I search for a method to be searching for group names using a report.

There are different tables to look into but now the question is which table and field can I use for this search?
Or perhaps there are different ways to search for them?
Any advise is welcome!


Many thanks in advance.

Kind Regards
Jacob.

Hi there,

 

Not sure, have to reproduce. Though my first guess would be to check the "sys_variable_value" table. This table holds a lot! though Amongst others fields, scripts, etc from workflow, flow and way more.

 

So checkout the "sys_variable_value" table.

 

Kind regards,
