'Set Data' Action After 'Order' Action

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 14:13:00 GMT

In the Consolidation Exercise-Foundation training template, I couldn't get the idea of Re-setting the Data row to the queue again once we use it to Order?

does this mean 'Get Next Item' Action makes the data to be gone from the Orginal Queue or what?

Hi Sanaa,

What 'Get Next Item' action essentially does is to get the next 'Pending' state item and lock that item which it gets as per the FIFO algorithm, or based on priority or on the filters that you set in it's input arguments. Once you have locked the item, using 'Get Next Item' wont work as it only fetches 'Pending' state item. So to answer your question, that item is not deleted or is gone from your queue, only the status has changed from 'Pending' to some other state because of which 'Get Next Item' can't get that item from the queue.

Still you want to get any item which is locked let say going forward some time, then the approach would be to use 'Get Locked Items' action which will return the collection of the item ID's all such items in the queue which are locked and then you can loop through the collection or get any specific Item ID from that collection and use it as an input for 'Get Item Data' action which will return you the data contained within that work queue item.
