Is there a way to look up what groups are used in steps set up in Flow Designer flows?

We want to 'recertify' the groups we have in ServiceNow, make sure the Managers and Members are accurate, but when we go to our Business partners to confirm they usually come back asking what the groups are being used for. Of course we have a lot of Flows (built in Flow Designer vs Workflow) that utilize groups for Approvals and Tasks, but it's impossible to say off the top of my head which Flows use which groups in their steps.

I wanted to know if there was a way in ServiceNow to figure out what Flows (built in Flow Designer) use a given Group in any of it's steps. For example we have a ServiceNow Local Support group. Pretend I wanted to know what Flows we have built which use that group for an approval or task step. Does anyone know of a way we can search or somewhere we can look to determine that?

Hello Mitch,

 

Yes we can search where is that Group used in Workflow , can't comment on flow as of now please find the steps for searching it in flow.

 

1. Navigate to sys_variable_value Table

2. Copy Syd id of the Group you are trying to search in Workflow activities

3. Paste it in Value Column.

 

You will able to see all the workflow activities where the group is used.

 

Please mark correct if it helps.

 

Thanks,

Bhushan

Thank you. I could have done with knowing this before we switched all of our workflows to Flow Designer! I knew there must be a way, but never found it.

If you find out how to search group usage in flows, please let us know.
