need a way to uniquely identify actor in a workflow that is exposed to the 
user so that if one person says look at actor X in workflow y, they know 
exactly which one is being referenced.  There could be many of the same kind 
of actors in a workflow and users need a way to uniquely identify a specific 
actor.

This could be done by making use of and exposing the actor ID.  It could be 
exposed in the general tab on the new proposed tabbed configuration dialog for 
an actor.

Searching by actor ID could be added to the advanced search.
