Search Platform resources
Search across all platform applications to find workflows, forms, templates, and other resources. System Search provides a unified interface for locating resources regardless of which application created them.
When to use System Search
Use System Search to find resources when:
- You know the resource name but not which application contains it
- You need to find all resources with a specific tag
- You want to search across multiple applications at once
- You’re looking for resources created by someone else
Access System Search
Open System Search from the dashboard or any application.

System Search is not available in all applications. If you don’t see System Search in the menu, navigate to one of the applications listed above.
Search for resources

Search tips:
- Search matches partial names (e.g., “deploy” finds “deployment-workflow”)

- Search is case-insensitive
- Results update automatically as you type
Understand search results
Search results appear in a table with detailed information about each resource.
