Hi

Have you ever wondered, how you can find out, which workflow definition is using a given Workflow Activity?

For example, if you want to know, which workflows are using the "Approval - Group" Workflow Activity, to review or investigate on the implementation used.

To find out, navigate to

> Workflow > Administration > Activity Definitions

and open the form for the "Approval - Group" Workflow Activity.

Add the Related List (by using the hamburger menu on the top left and choosing "Configure > Related Lists") as shown in the screenshot  below:

Click on "Save"

 

Note: Do not get confused by the "Workflow Actions - xxx" and "Workflow Activity - xxx" Related Lists!

 

Back on the Workflow Activity Definition form, scroll down to the Related Lists section and select the "Workflow Activities" TAB (of the Related List).

Here, you can see, that the "Approval - Group" Workflow Activity is used in the "Change Request - Normal" Workflow - a total of four times. As you can see in the column "published" (on the right side), TWO are published and TWO are NOT published - each with the same timestamp).

 

You can also review those Workflow Versions, by navigating to:

 

>Workflows > Administration > Workflow Versions

You need to replace the default filter of the List to the one shown in the screenshot below.

Just let me know, if this was helpful (mark as helpful please) for you!

 

Thanks a lot and

Have fun to build something awesome on ServiceNow
