Process
"View Documentation" for all models, or global property settings search

We're in the process of migrating hundreds of older process models, many of which contain functions that don't work in the latest version of Appian. We have workarounds for the deprecated functions, but identifying where those functions are used is proving to be extraordinarily tedious.
The View Documentation feature does the trick, but going through the process models one-by-one is really slowing us down. Is there a way to View Documentation for all or selected process models?
If not, is there a way to identify all process models containing tasks that use the functions we need to change?

Dan, unfortunately there's not a quick way to View Documentation for multiple models at once. You may be able to find functions by searching the XML of your exported application.

Dan, we have had a similar problem in the past, and used Jacob's solution effectively. One way to proceed is to:
1. download the application
2. unzip the folder
3. open notepad++
4. ctrl+f 'find in files'
5. enter the function for which you are searching
6. select the directory folder of your unzipped application
We've found this to be more effective than opening every process model's documentation

That's exactly what I tried to do following Jacob's reply and it works fabulously! Thank you for validating as well.

Great! I'm glad you didn't have to click through hundreds of process model documentations :)
