Searching Tasks

When you are working with complex flows it is not always easy to find information, such as where is a database view used or where was an attribute originally created. 

The search function makes this type of information retrieval easy to do, allowing you to search within task names and their histories.

Another frequent problem is when you want to delete a flow variable, but are unable to do so because it is in use.

Thanks to the search function you can check which tasks use it and decide whether it can effectively be removed, and how.
