Key / Work Queue

[SamLima]

**************Update I forgot to upload screenshot

where did these queue Items get their key from?

it's from BP Travel Templates

I can see it used Item Key to check if an item with a specific key is in Queue or not, but I can't find where it gives this Item to that key

Now, can you show me where the ItemKey column value is being set up in your workflow. This is definitely a custom generated column and it wont be a part of your input file (you can also cross verify that)

I think I found it in one of the workflows I had for the challenge:



Here they are creating this column value via some formula and that same column name is being used in your queue configuration that is why it is getting mapped like that and you are also able to use the same formula in your 'Is Item In Queue' action while verifying if any queue item with same key name as generated by the formula already exists or not

In System tab you just define column name nothing else no value no formula. If I let say add the Key Name as 'Test' tomorrow and if sometime in my workflow I add a custom column as 'Test' in the collection which I need to add in the queue as a part of my workflow then the same thing will appear.



Since, here they are creating this column value via some formula that is the reason why you are also able to use that formula as a filter keyword for your queue item check in the 'Is Item In Queue' action as well. Here you see the column name is:
and the same column name as been provided as your 'Key Name' in the queue configuration
