Hi all,
I like to know an easy way to do a search within Flow Designer flows/subflows/actions to find a keyword. Let's say I know there could be a flow that edits a custom field (u_custom_field) on the incident table, but am not sure which exact flow is it and I like to find out which flow is it, is there a keyword search for such cases?
For the more 'traditional' configurations like business rule, it is easy to do this keyword search
E.g. Let say I like to do a search on Incident business rules to see which configurations are using a custom field (u_custom_field), I can easily type it in the Search 'for text' and it will return results containing the keyword, be it in the conditions, scripts etc
I can also go to the sys_metadata table and do the same keyword search if I'm unsure which config might contain this keyword.
However, I don't see an easy way to search the flows/actions/subflow in the flow designer, and it also doesn't seem that searching on the sys_metadata returns anything i need for flows/actions/subflow. So is there a way to do keyword searches for flows/subflows/actions?
Hi wclim,
In flow designer page, you can see the search "for text" option given there. Please refer below screenshot.

Hi Harshal,
I forgot to mention, that Search in the screenshot doesnt search the whole flow.
One example will be if my keyword is in a scripted value like the one below belonging to a Update Record action, the flow does not appear if try to search for the keyword like that from your screenshot, this may be misleading that I will think that none of the flows contains that particular keyword.
Not sure if there are any other examples like that at the moment.
So I would like to see if there any better ways to doing such a keyword search for Flows/Subflows/Actions.
Hi, You will not be able to do that for the flow designer as the content which is decrypted is not exposed. Certain things can be searched by listing sys_hub_flow and referring field "Label cache" to find table , action , subflow etc. But even that will not be at script level.
