Retrieve workflow rules xml database

27240

We are using the workflow rules to good effect which is good. However when an issue arises it would be great to be able to identify all rules that say update the my_status field as an example. Currently we document the workflow rules in an excel sheet so we can filter based on fields but excel is not ideal. Is there a way that the rules could be exported as XML objects of better still a system admin function to search the rules based on field updated, fields used in triggers, emails sent to etc the list goes on :)

  • Amazing idea. There's a great feature of PowerApps where you can view on one page all of the variables in the application and then for each one see where it is used. It would be very useful to have something similar here. Perhaps an action for each column indicating which rules it appears in and whether it is part of the trigger.
