Business Process Search Syntax

You can use advanced search syntax to search for entries associated with a business process. Specifically you can search for entries by the business process's name, status, and start or completed date. All advanced search types can be customized with advanced search operators and wildcards. When using this advanced search syntax, the name and status of the business process must be enclosed by quotation marks.

All entries associated with a specified business process

• {LF:BPName="BusinessProcessName"}
