Workflow search results on workflow designer does not display entry id

When I search for workflow that has recently run on workflow designer, the search results does not show the Starting Name, Entry ID or Original Path.  Does anyone know why it is empty even for the workflow that has run and completed successfully?

There's not enough information in the screenshot. Not all workflows have a starting entry. For example, a scheduled workflow that runs a search and processes those documents would not have a starting entry.

The same workflow with same starting rules running on test repository shows Starting Name, Entry ID and Original Path.  When the workflow is exported to production repository, the information is empty in the search results.  

 

Below is the screenshot of workflow search result running on test repository.

Sorry, still not enough to go on. Look at the Workflow Rule column to see what rule triggered them.

What does this workflow do? If it expected a starting entry, shouldn't it have  errored out when it didn't get one?

The workflow starting rule is when there is a new entry in the folder.  The workflow renames and routes the entry according to the metadata.  I suspect it is the setup in production repository that causes this since the same workflow and same starting rule shows entry id, starting name and original path when run on test repository.  Moreover, none of the workflow on production repository shows entry id in the workflow search results.

 

If a workflow has conditional starting rule (i.e. when new entry is created or copy in a folder), and starting entry (i.e. entry is created in that folder), and the workflow runs successfully then what would be the reason that the column entry id, starting name, and original path are empty in 'Search Results' of that workflow on Workflow Designer?  Any specific setup or config or permission that I should look for?
