Is there a function that will return the names of the SFCs on a gateway?

I’m thinking of something similar to the “system.alarm.listPipelines” function, and how it returns a list of all available pipelines.

I’m asking because I want to have users control SFCs from the client, but I don’t want to hard code the SFC names into my scripts.

You can get the SFCs that are actually running: [system.sfc.getRunningCharts()](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com:8443/display/DOC79/system.sfc.getRunningCharts) Don’t know of a way to get the ones that aren’t running, unless you periodically get the running SFCs and keep track of which ones you’ve seen.
