Queues: – Queue works like a Container of Transactions and processes them on First in First Out basis. Using Queue, we can divide our work on multiple Robots and make our automation more cost and time-efficient
Triggers: – Trigger enables the user to schedule jobs with a plan or at a regular interval of time. A queue trigger is used to start the job when a new item is loaded in the queue.
Job: – The execution of a process is represented by Job. There are different states of jobs Pending, Running, Successful, Faulted, Stopped, Terminating, Suspended, Resumed. A Job can have possible three resources Manual for a job started using Job/Process/Trigger tabs. Attended by Robots tray/UIPath Assistant or Command-Line. [Trigger_Name] for a job scheduled before in Triggers.
