Custom Status
The Custom Status window within the Queue tab of the AutomatR Orchestrator application allows users to define and manage different custom statuses that can be assigned to items within a queue. Custom statuses provide valuable insights into the stage of processing or the status of specific tasks. Let's look into each of the sections and options available within the Custom Status window in detail:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The Name section displays the descriptive name assigned to a specific custom status. This name serves as an identifier for the custom status, helping users understand its meaning or purpose. |
| Key | The Key section provides a unique identifier for the custom status. This key is used programmatically to reference and differentiate between different custom statuses. |
The Custom Status window within the Queue tab of the AutomatR Orchestrator application offers a comprehensive interface for defining, managing, and configuring custom statuses for tasks within queues. By providing options for editing, deleting, and searching custom statuses, this feature enhances the clarity, categorization, and optimization of task processing within the AutomatR Orchestrator environment.

Adding a custom status from the Custom Status window in the Queue tab involves entering the name and key for the custom status. After reviewing and confirming the details, clicking the Add button finalizes the process and adds the new custom status to the AutomatR Orchestrator environment. This ensures effective task categorization and streamlined management within your automation processes.
Update Custom Status
In the AutomatR Orchestrator, you can update the custom status of a queue item through the Custom Status window in the Queues Tab. The Edit option from the custom status table allows users to modify the attributes and properties of a specific custom status. Users can adjust the name or key to accurately represent the stage or status. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to update a custom status:
Log in to the AutomatR Orchestrator, navigate to the Queues tab and select Custom Status window, which displays a list of queue-custom status and their related details.
From the Custom Status table, find the specific status for which you want to update.
Locate the Actions column associated with the status and click on the Edit option within that column.
Clicking on the Edit option opens a form with the custom status details pre-populated.
Review the pre-populated custom status details to ensure accuracy.

Key: Change the unique identifier for the custom status.
After confirming or making any required updates to the custom status details, click on the Update button to save the changes.
The system will process the updates, and the custom status will be modified accordingly.
Upon successful updating, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that the custom status has been updated.
The custom status for the selected queue will now reflect the changes you made and will be applied to queue items as needed.
Updating custom status is a straightforward process that allows users to modify custom status settings as required. By following the above steps, users can ensure that their queues are configured correctly, and custom statuses are applied accurately to queue items for better tracking and management.
