At my company we're starting to get many Environment Variables and Credentials so adding a simple searchbar in these tabs would save us many hours and headaches
There is no search bar to Quickly search for an exact match for the environment variables or Credentials in Blue Prism System Tab. I am working in Version 6.9.0 where this functionality is already available in studio but its not present in the system tab. And same with the latest V7.0 version. Kindly check for possiblity to add this feature in the upcoming or current versions.
Searching i general and even in the System tab has been asked for before but not rewarded with implementation. It is however still a good idea that saves anyone working in BP time. Hope it gets done this time.
A slight problem is that the number of votes given in Ideation page is usually quite modest. Send out the link to your idea to everyone you know works with BP and have them evaluate and hopefully vote for it.
Thanks for submitting your idea, the team really like it. I’ve updated the status to Under Consideration and you will see updates here as it progresses through the process.
Thank you for your idea. This idea has been created a few times in the Community ideas portal already. As such, I've marked this idea as a Duplicate. Please refer to the original idea for any and all responses and updates, and please direct all further discussions around this topic there so it's easier to track.

We are using BP version 6.10 in our organization and have thousands of processes automated. Due, to high number of processes we also have a lot of environment variables associated with respective processes. Since, the number of environment variables is really high it becomes extremely difficult to update an existing environment variable if required. It would be great if we can have a search functionality for Environment Variables so that the developer can search a particular variable and update it.
If you're in System.Environment Variables and click on any environment variable, there's a link 'Find References' on the right side of the screen that will pop a window that shows you all processes and objects using the chosen environment variable.
If you're editing a process or object and click Edit and then Dependancies, you will get a window with all items used in the process, ordered by type. If you click on Environment Variables in the left side of the window, the list expands showing the environment variables used in the process or object that you have opened. Clicking any will show the actions in the process/object. Note that I am on 6.5, but I assume this functionality has not been removed since.
With the above in mind, I hope you can clarify what enhancement you are looking to get via this Ideation request.
One thing I can think of is to get the results of the above extracted to an XL or CSV file. especially if you have a huge amount of environment variables and processes using them, as you have. As it is now, you can only display the uses on the screen, export to XL would certainly make things easier if you have a project involving environment variables.
I agree with this suggestion, in recent 6.x versions we've now got the ability to search for processes/ objects within Studio tab and Resources within the System tab (although the same search in control room would be useful!).
Within our organisation we have pages and pages of EVs and the ability to just quick search for a particular one would save a lot of time.
The search capabilities for processes and objects are indeed quite an improvement. However, I once pushed for the idea to also be able to search for the content of a process or object, eg for a specific action that I know exists in some object but I do not know which object.
So, in my view, the search capabilities are half ready. As usual, I did not get enough votes for my idea.
Thanks for submitting your idea, the team really like it and think it will be a very useful feature. I’ve updated the status to Under Consideration and you will see updates here as it progresses through the process.
