Search BPM code/notes?

Kinetic ERP

Do any of yall have a good way to search BPMs by their function? (by what they do, not necessarily by the Kinetic “Function” they may call).

Currently to find the BPM I need to work on, I usually open up all our method and data directives and scan through the list, end up having to open 4 or 5 of them before finding the right one. We’ve got about 100.

I’m thinking about making a baq/dashboard/kinetic app grid that lists them all and allows searching the xxxdef or whatever to make it easier to find the right one. But want to see yalls thoughts before doing that.

Do you utilize the Group field in your BPMs? That’s what we do. We name them according to a very broad concept of what they do.

CustomerDefaults
OnlineOrderSettings
EngineeringWBDefaults

You can also use the description field to be a little more thoughtful and then you absolutely could use a Quick Search and search on that field or something to make finding them easier

Thanks for feedback. I inherited a hodgepodge of nonsensical group names, and didn’t attempt to reorganize them. I might do that.

I might’ve misspoke about the Quick Search. I thought it would work but I’m not getting it to show up. So that’s a bummer. I’m not sure which column it might be looking for but DirectiveID and SysRowID both did not work.

If you have Sql access then ice. Bpdirective or ice.bpmethod are the tables, been meaning to build a dashboard… Then again you could use the ubc (can’t recall its correct name) dashboard, the one that shows all your custom components. :thinking:
