Get Queue item from different folder than job running folder

[Koushalya_Khot]

When a workflow operates in one Orchestrator folder but I need to create a queue item in another folder, how can I configure the workflow to handle this cross-folder scenario efficiently in UiPath? ‎

@Koushalya_Khot,

In your queue transaction handling activity like Get Transaction Item, Get Queue item pass the folder name as well. This will ensure that the activity will get the queue items from that particular folder.

You can specify a different Orchestrator Folder Path in the Add Queue Item and Get Reference activity, allowing you to add items to a queue located in another folder. Ensure you have the necessary permissions for the target folder; otherwise, the queue item creation may fail.

Hi @Koushalya_Khot

To access a queue in a different folder than the one where the job is running, use the folder properties in UiPath queue-handling activities, like Add Queue Item and Get Queue Item.

Step-by-Step:

1. Configure the Orchestrator Folder Path: Open the properties of the activity managing the queue (e.g., Add Queue Item or Get Queue Item) and locate the “Orchestrator Folder Path” field.
2. Set the Target Folder: In the “Orchestrator Folder Path” field, enter the name of the specific folder where the queue is located. This will direct the activity to operate in the desired folder, even if the job is running in a different folder.
3. Run and Verify: Run the workflow and check if the item was created in the correct queue of the specified folder.
