Queues

Page listing the queues.

On the list screen, information about the name of the queue, number of items in progress, number of items remaining, number of successful items, average time, number of items failed due to application error, and number of items failed due to job error can be displayed.

The functions of the buttons on the screen that opens when the "Actions" button on the list is clicked are as follows:

  • View: Details of a queue can be viewed. Details should be viewed for items in the queue.
  • Edit: You can change the description of the queue, whether it will be automatically retried, and the number of retries if it will be retried automatically.
  • Delete: Used to delete the queue.

How to Create a Queue?​

Name: The name of the queue to be created. This name will be used when adding items to the queue in Automind Robot and Automind Studio.

Description: Description of what the queue is for.

Retry automatically: Check this box if you want a failed item in the queue to be retried before moving on to the next item.

Maximum number of retries: Enter the number of times a failed item in the queue will be retried before moving on to the next item. (If no error occurs on the second attempt and the item is successfully completed, but you have entered a value greater than 1 in this field, no further attempts will be made because the item was successfully completed on the second attempt and the next item will be processed.)

Unique reference: Check this box if you want the reference numbers of the items added to the queue to be different from each other.

What is the Queue Used For?​

Queues allow you to create large automation projects with complex logic. For example, you can create a process that collects all invoice information and creates a queue item for each data piece to store them. Later, you can create another process that uses the queue items added from Orchestrator to perform additional tasks such as paying invoices in a different process, delaying payment based on the due date or value, sending an email to the accounting team when an invoice is paid, etc.
