Searching for Process Instances

If you have a large number of process instances in your list, you can use the search feature to search for a specific process template instance.

Procedure

  1. Select the process template for the process instances you want to find.
  2. Select .
    You can search on the following:
  3. Select the desired filter option:
    • Filter Criteria - This option can be used to search for the following:
      Name Description Data Type
      Package Name The name of the package that contains the process template you are interested in. This is specified in TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition at design-time. Text
      Process Name The name of the process template. This is specified in TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition at design-time. Text
      Version Identifies the version of the process template. Numeric
      Instances Started Identifies the instances started before or after a given date and time. DateTime
    • Process Instance Id - Use this option to search on the Process Instance ID.
  4. Choose the appropriate filter operator (Equals to, Less than, Greater than, After, or Before), depending on what you are searching for.

    When searching for names, you can use the 'Less than' and 'Greater than' operators to find names that begin with characters that are alphabetically before or after the specified character. For example, specifying 'Less than', and specifying "D", finds names that begin with "A", "B", and "C". Case is significant, however. If a process name begins with "W", specifying 'Greater than' "t" does not find process instances. But specifying 'Greater than' "T" does find process instances. You can also use the * wildcard character when searching for a name using 'Equals to'. For example, 'Equals to' "W*" finds process instances for processes that begin with "W".

  5. Enter the value of what you are searching for, then click OK.

    The applied filters can be removed by clicking on RESET and then OK.
