Keeping track of various flows

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 6

Hi all,

 

When working with flows, the company I work for and I may have a couple running at the same time and when wanting to keep track of the flow (Looking at its running process to see which step it is on) is there a way to name those flows to help us keep track with which flow is which? This would really help with identifying a specific flow. Thanks!

    Hi,

     

    So the way that we use flow, when a lease document is created and dropped into a certain library in SharePoint, it creates a process in which the lease doc will go from employee to employee in a specified order via email, and it will go to the next employee when the current one working on the doc clicks approve through the approval function. I wanted to see if there was a way to find a way to label the run histories so that if ever needed to look back on one, there would be an easier method of looking at the desired run. Attached is an image of what I am talking about. Screen Shot 2018-03-12 at 10.23.06 AM.png

    Also, would anyone happen to know why in some instances with the flow, it works and everyone recieves an email (through the approve function) with the lease doc to make revisions, but in other instances the flow does not seem to work and some employees I work with claim to not be getting certain emails that they should be getting from the flow. I appreciate any help I can get, Thanks!

    Hi @apasqua,

     

    How do you keep track of your flows on your side?

    Do you want to rename flows within your flow?

    Could you please show a bit more about your scenario?

     

    If you want to rename flows within your flow, I think the "Update flow" action of Flow management connector may achieve your needs:31.JPG

     

     

    More details about "Update flow" action of Flow management connector, please check the following article:

    Update Flow action

     

    If you could provide more details about your scenario, we could provide a proper workaround for you.

     

    Best regards,

    Kris

    Hi @apasqua,

     

    What is the exact scenario? Are you trying to rename your flows while they run? Or are you just renaming the flows?
