Syntax and options for `uip or queue-items`, which manages individual work transactions inside Orchestrator queues.
Manage queue items — individual work transactions inside queues. Items flow through states: New → InProgress → Successful / Failed / Abandoned / Retried / Deleted. Queue items are folder-scoped; most subcommands require --folder-path or --folder-key. For the queue itself, see uip or queues.
For the cross-resource conventions (auth, folder scoping, key types, output envelope), see the uip or overview.

There is currently no set-progress command and no --progress flag on update — progress text cannot be set through this CLI. If you were looking for it, check whether it's been added since this page was last verified, or use the Orchestrator API directly in the meantime.
list
List queue items in a folder, or across every accessible folder with --all-folders. Filter: --queue-definition-key <guid> and/or --queue-name <name> and/or --status <state>. Paginated via -l, --limit / --offset; --sort-by <field> sorts results (default Id desc). --all-fields returns the full API response instead of the curated subset.
uip or queue-items list --folder-path Shared \
--queue-name InvoiceQueue --status Failed
uip or queue-items list --folder-path Shared \
--queue-name InvoiceQueue --status Failed
get
Get a queue item by <queue-item-key> (the uniqueKey field from list output, unique per attempt). --all-fields returns the full API response instead of the curated subset.
update
Change fields on a queue item. Optional --priority <High|Normal|Low>, --due-date <ISO-8601>, --defer-date <ISO-8601>, --specific-content <json>.
delete / delete-bulk
Delete one or many items by <queue-item-key> / <queue-item-key...>. Bulk form requires all items to belong to the same folder. Both require -y, --yes — the CLI never prompts for destructive operations.
uip or queue-items delete a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 --yes
uip or queue-items delete a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 --yes
set-review-status
Set <status> (Retried, Abandoned, Deleted) for one or more <queue-item-key...>.
set-reviewer / unset-reviewer
Assign or clear a reviewer on one or more <queue-item-key...>. set-reviewer requires --user-key <guid>.
get-reviewers
List users available as reviewers (scoped by --folder-path / --folder-key if provided). Returned keys feed set-reviewer --user-key. --all-fields returns the full API response instead of the curated subset.
get-history
Return the processing history for a queue item. Paginated via -l, --limit / --offset.
get-last-retry
Return the most recent retry for an item. Argument is the retry-chain key (the key field from list, not uniqueKey).
has-video
Return whether a queue item has a video recording attached.
add
Add a single item to a queue by name. Requires <queue-name> and --specific-content <json>. Optional -r, --reference, -p, --priority <High|Normal|Low> (default Normal), --defer-date, --due-date.
uip or queue-items add InvoiceQueue --folder-path Shared \
--specific-content '{"InvoiceId":"INV-001","Amount":1500}'
uip or queue-items add InvoiceQueue --folder-path Shared \
--specific-content '{"InvoiceId":"INV-001","Amount":1500}'
bulk-add
Add multiple items in one request. Requires <queue-name> and --queue-items <json-array>. Optional --commit-type <AllOrNothing|StopOnFirstFailure|ProcessAllIndependently> (default ProcessAllIndependently).
ITEMS=$(jq -c . ./items.json)
uip or queue-items bulk-add InvoiceQueue \
--folder-path Shared \
--queue-items "$ITEMS" \
--commit-type StopOnFirstFailure
ITEMS=$(jq -c . ./items.json)
uip or queue-items bulk-add InvoiceQueue \
--folder-path Shared \
--queue-items "$ITEMS" \
--commit-type StopOnFirstFailure
Exit codes
See Exit codes for the shared contract. delete / delete-bulk exit 2 (validation error) if -y, --yes is omitted.
