Question

Searching Within Multiple Workflows at a Time.... Is it possible?

Workflow

For faster troubleshooting purposes, I would like to know if it is possible to search for a particular layout being referenced in the starting rule or inside any workflow(s). The same concept applies to searching for any word within multiple workflows at a time.

Thanks....

Not really sure what you mean by layout. You can search for activities in multiple workflows by opening the desired definitions in the Designer, then opening the Find Activity dialog (Ctrl+F). You get an option between looking in the currently open workflows or all opened workflows.

Sorry, what I meant to say template, not layout. I would like to know is if a particular template is in the starting rule of any existing workflow. In addition, I want to find out if it is possible to search for the existence of a text within all existing workflows.

Thanks....

I see. No, there isn't a way to do a text search through all the workflow rules. Depending on how familiar you are with XML though, you could export all the workflows as one single file and run a text search through it in your preferred text editor or Visual Studio.

The template condition would look something like this:

    <Condition ConditionType="EntryTemplateRule" Operator="Equal">
      <Values>
        <Value>General</Value>
      </Values>
    </Condition>

Miruna,

Is there a way to automate the export? I understand the I can export all workflows in designer, but is there a way I could do this unattended? Some sort of script?
