### Environment configuration available for RPA processes

You can now configure environment variables for RPA processes. These variables can be defined directly when starting a job, allowing you to fine-tune runtime behavior.

This capability provides greater flexibility by allowing you to override robot-level settings, such as log level, on a per-process basis, without changing the global robot configuration.

For more details on starting a job and setting environment variables, check the [Managing Jobs](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/managing-jobs#starting-a-job) page.

### Improved error message for trigger logs

We updated the messaging associated with the `DisabledDueToConsecutiveFailures` error code.

Trigger logs and audit messages now display clear and consistent information when a trigger is disabled due to repeated failures.

### Improved Jobs sidepanel design

We redesigned the **Jobs** sidepanel to provide a cleaner, more focused experience when viewing and managing job details.

This update improves layout consistency, reduces clutter, and makes it easier to access the information you need.

#### General layout and usability improvements

* The **Jobs** panel has been reorganized to reduce the number of tabs. The **Details** tab remains the primary route, now featuring a cleaner, more organized layout.
* **Resume Conditions / Triggers** are now part of the **Details** tab, displayed in a collapsible accordion for easier access.
* The **Graph** is now positioned in the header section for a more streamlined overview.
  + The graph is now resizeable and automatically doubles in height when job complexity increases.
  + The default graph height is lowered for a cleaner initial view.The graph can also be toggled open or closed, allowing you to focus on the information most relevant to your workflow.
* The **Trace** and **Video Timeline** tabs remain unchanged.

#### Header refinements

* The header is simplified by removing the **State** and **Package** labels.
* A new action menu is available next to the job title, consolidating the main job actions previously available in the grid action menu.
* The **Live streaming** button is moved to the sidepanel header for quicker access.

#### Attachments improvements

* The **Attachments** section is no longer displayed as a grid.
* Attachments are now displayed as a list of chips, making them easier to scan and identify.
* The Attachments section is displayed within a collapsible card, allowing you to hide or reveal attachments as needed.

#### Details tab structure and content

The **Details** tab is now organized into clear, well-defined sections to improve readability and navigation:

* Job information:
  + Displays job details related to pending execution, including the reasons why a job is waiting or blocked. This section is displayed only for jobs with pending reasons available.
  + Pending reasons are now displayed when applicable, providing better visibility into why a job is waiting or blocked.
  + When collapsed, the section header displays the number of pending reasons, providing quick visibility without expanding the section.
* Raw message:
  + The section is visually improved for improved readability.
  + This section is displayed as a collapsible card.
* Error:
  + The section is visually improved for improved readability.
  + This section is displayed as a collapsible card.
* Environment Variables:
  + Environment variables are displayed even when empty, ensuring a consistent layout.
  + When values are available, they are clearly listed for improved visibility.
  + This section is displayed as a collapsible card.
* Runtime details:
  + Includes consumption-related information and execution-specific details.
  + This section is expanded to ensure critical runtime data remains visible.
* Execution environment:
  + **Identity** is displayed first for quicker access.
  + **Robot size** has been renamed to **Machine size** to align with terminology used in process configuration.
  + This section is not collapsible, ensuring environment details are always visible.
* Additional information:
  + Contains supplementary job metadata.
  + This section is collapsible and provides a summary view when collapsed, allowing you to quickly scan key information without expanding the section.

#### Arguments improvements

* **Input** and **Output** arguments are displayed using **Pretty View**, providing a more readable and structured presentation.
* Arguments are now displayed even when the job has no inputs or outputs, ensuring a consistent layout.

#### Recordings updates

* The **Resume conditions** action is removed from the **Jobs** menu.
* The **Delete recording** button no longer includes text, and the **Has recording** indication is removed.
* A new **Download recording** button is added for easier access.

#### Additional enhancements

Relative dates (for example, “2 days ago”) are now displayed with the absolute date shown in a tooltip available on mouse hover, improving readability while preserving precision.

### Queue triggers high-load scenarios

When a large number of queue items are added in a short time, the process start can be delayed. A recheck mechanism ensures the process is triggered once resources become available.

### QueueItem events enhancements

QueueItem events, such as `QueueItem.added`, now include additional fields to improve retry tracking and item correlation:

* `UniqueKey`: the unique key of the queue item.
* `AncestorUniqueKey`: the unique key of the item being automatically retried.
* `ManualAncestorId`: the ID of the item being manually retried.
* `ManualAncestorUniqueKey`: the unique key of the item being manually retried.
* `ManualRetryNumber`: the number of times the item has been manually retried.
