Workflow no record of ID

asked on May 8, 2017

I have a scenario where I run a workflow on an entry.

When I go back into workflow designer & search for that workflow based on the Entry ID I get no results.

Good morning David,

I looked into this on my demo system and it appears that searching for WFs based on Entry ID is inconsistent at best.

Example: I created a Forms process recently that passes process variables to a WF. Depending on the values of these variables, a folder (and all its children) are either created or archived in the repository. When testing this Forms process/WF, I would use the Forms process to create many of these folders and then archive them, so every folder I tested with went through the same 2 branches of the same WF. However, I was only able to search out both of these WFs for a few of my test folders--all others would only return the WF in which the folder was originally created.

Sorry I don't have a solution for you, but this appears to be a bug.

Thanks,

Rob

This is not a bug. Only the starting entry gets logged by default. And from your description, it sounds like you're using either Search Repository or Find Entries to work with your documents. Since these 2 activities can returns thousands of results, they're not tracked in the instance details for performance reasons. For Each Entry has an option to list its entries as it iterates over the results of a search. This option is off by default for the same performance reasons.

Thanks for the response this does make sense as I am using both search repository & for each entry.

David, is the document you're referring to the starting entry in your workflow?
