Workload package

The Workload package enables you to insert work items in a queue for workload automation. It also enables data chaining between multiple queues. You can orchestrate multiple bots, and enable optimal device utilization through the queueing mechanism of workload management.

For example, a business process of Employee Salary Processing:
  • A payroll queue can process the employee salaries, and a payroll bot can add work items to a finance queue.
  • The finance queue in turn can release the funds to employees and a finance bot in turn adds works items in a HR queue to email employees on the salary processing completion.

You must have the Queue Owner or Participant privileges to view the list of queues in the Workload package.

Actions in the Workload package

The Workload package includes the following actions:
Note: If you built a bot using actions from the Workload package from Build 5322 or earlier, the action will be missing when you open the bot with the default package version. You must reinsert the action and repopulate the fields.
Action Description
Insert work item Allows you to insert a work item from an existing queue to another queue as part of a bot execution.
Update work item Allows you to update a work item from an existing queue as part of a bot execution.
