Hi Sam,
This status field corresponds to the active state of the entire work queue component being created as a whole. It can be either Running or Paused. If it is running, you would be able to add items, retrieve work queue items and mark them as either completed or exception. If the status is paused, the queue simply is inactive for now.
Attempts field is used for retrying any kind of a queue item in case of an exception. For this to work, you must set the attempt value here greater than 1 and also in your workflow, whenever you are using the Mark Exception action stage, you need to keep the '
Retry' flag as True. If the flag is set as True, the current item would be marked as exception and a new item will be created which will be a clone of the current item and the attempt field related to the new item will also increase. So let say your attempts value is 3 then for three times the queue item will be attempted in total (first one would be the original attempt and two more new items may be created if the item keeps failing for two times)
Encryption of queue item is related to how the queue data is stored in the back end database. If encrypted, then the queue item is stored in an encrypted format in the database whenever you are adding items to queue. This is followed with respect to compliance and regulatory practices in many business processes. However, this setting does not impact the basic steps in your workflow related to how you add queue items.
