Lyle, "To bring up workflow associated to a form that isn't the primary form", you would use the Working Lists feature introduced in the 7.5 Developer Studio (especially the Related List type Working List).
Here is a snippet from the chapter that talks about Working Lists in the 7.5 Developer Studio guide (found at http://documents.bmc.com/supportu/documents/53/81/95381/95381.pdf). Working with working lists Create a working list to keep references to objects that you need to view, change, or export to complete an application development or maintenance task. You can add and remove objects from working lists as you work with them. Descriptions of your working lists are stored locally in your BMC Remedy Developer Studio workspace. Working lists refer to objects on the AR System server, but the server does not record any information about working lists or an object's membership in them. BMC Remedy Developer Studio has the following types of working lists: _ View-by-form list-Contains one or more AR System forms and all objects related to them. _ Related list-Contains one or more AR System objects and optionally either directly related objects or all related objects. Every time you open a working list, the list is updated with the current related objects. For example, if a filter is created that is associated with a form in a view-by-form list, the new filter is included the next time that you open the list. NOTE Although there is no limit on the number of objects in a working list, lists with many objects, included related objects, are slower to open than lists with fewer objects. _ To create a view-by-form list 1 In the AR System Navigator, expand serverName, right-click Working Lists, and choose New View by Form List. 2 In the New View by Form List dialog box, enter the List Name. 3 Click Add. 4 In the Form Selector dialog box, select one or more forms to include in the list, and click OK. To filter the list of forms, type a pattern in the Name field. To move to a form in the list, type the first characters of the name in the Locate field. Use the usual Windows methods to select multiple objects. For example, hold down the CTRL key and click an item to select or deselect it. 5 Click OK to save the list. _ To create a related list 1 In the server branch in the AR System Navigator, right-click Working Lists and choose New Related List. 2 In New Related List dialog box, enter the List Name. 3 Click Add. 4 In the Add Items dialog box, select the objects to include in the list. To filter the list of object, type a pattern in the Name field, select an application from the Application drop-down list, or clear the appropriate Object Category check boxes. To move to a form in the list, type the first characters of the name in the Locate field. 5 In the Add Items with Related Property drop-down list , choose to add just the objects selected, the object and directly related objects, the objects and all related objects, or, for applications and packing lists, the object and its contents. See the information about exporting objects in the Form and Application Objects Guide for descriptions of the related options. 6 Click OK. 7 In the Related List dialog box, to see which objects will be included in the list, select an object and click Show Related. 8 To remove an object and its related objects, select it in the list and click Remove. To remove all objects from the list, click Remove All. 9 To change which related objects are included in the list with the selected object, select the objects in the list and click and change the value in the Related column or click the buttons. See the information about exporting objects in the Form and Application Objects Guide for descriptions of related options. 10 Click OK to save the list. Thanks Suresh BMC Software Note: Developer Studio is backwards compatible with 7.1 servers.

Developer Studio lets you easily filter workflow and forms based on various criteria, one of which is the Primary Form for the workflow. I haven't found a way to bring up workflow associated to a form that isn't the primary form, though. That seems to be a drawback of Dev Studio. But then again, I may just have missed that option...

The quickest way would be trying a database search.. For e.g. if you want to search for all AL's tied to a particular form: select name from actlink where schemaid in (select schemaid from arschema where name = '<your schema name>'; You could also use the exist clause instead of in, which I am told has a performance advantage.. These searches will take no more than a few seconds (1 to 2 or 3 seconds) as opposed to nearly a minute or more on the Admin tool.. You could run similar searches for other objects like filters, menus, etc..
