Process Administrator provides a flexible search capability for locating specific items of interest related to running workflows in an isolated region. Before you set up a search, the tips that follow are important to know.
With no other criteria set and read-only mode selected, the running workflows are listed with limited information about the workflow. It does not show individual work items that are the result of simultaneous processing. It also does not indicate Tracker items.
When read-only mode is selected, all work items are listed with limited information about each item. This option does not show individual work items that are the result of simultaneous processing. If a section of the workflow has an error, this list might not indicate the error.
When Edit mode is selected, all selected fields for each work item are listed, and you can select and edit the field values. You can specify the fields (columns) with the Show/Hide Columns option.
As an administrator, you use this procedure to find any items in an error state, then determine the problem. You might also use Process Tracker or other tools to fix the problem, such as reassign steps to other users or change data.

F_StartTime is the time a workflow was launched. The date can be entered in a number of formats. See Valid date/time formats in About workflow fields for additional information.
If your workflows involve data that you want to find quickly, your system probably has that data set up as an index. See Manage indexes in Getting started with Process Configuration Console for general information on creating an index. An index might be a customer ID that you would use to find workflows related to specific customers. You might use some other data, such as a loan amount or a postal code, that can be used to group work items into categories.
For example, in a system where the data field loan_amount is specified as an index, you can use the criteria and values shown to locate all work items where the loan amount is between 50,000 - 150,000.
