Trigger search

A trigger can be searched for string values matching a search parameter. Clicking on the Search button will open a dialog, for example:

The follow parameters can be used for searching:

  • Search string - the value to find
  • Case sensitive - checkbox for setting if search should be case sensitive
  • Regular expression - checkbox for setting if search should use regular expression format, as detailed here.

The following fields in the trigger are searchable. 

  1. Local Variables
    • Variable name
    • Default value
  2. Static Variables
    • Variable name
    • Default value
  3. Actions
    1. Action Name
    2. Properties
      • Name
      • Value
    3. Input
      • Name
      • Value
    4. Output
      • Name
      • Value
    5. Routing
      • Routing value

Parameters in the Event and Details sections are not searched.

The Result Table will display matches for the search parameters

  • Matching string will be highlighted in Match column, with entire value for that field displayed
  • Selecting a row (single click) will show that location in the editor
  • Opening a row (double click) will perform the same action as select, but will also open an editor dialog in the canvas editor if it is not already open
  • If a row is a local variable or static variable location, that tab will be selected
  • If a row is a input/output/route for an action, that tab will be selected.
  • The time of the last search and the number of result rows will be displayed below the table.  One row can have multiple matches.


Once the search dialog is displayed, it will remain until closed by the user. It will not interfere with editing of the trigger and can be moved to the side for convenience.
