Which of the following statements about attempts in a work queue is true?

The correct answer is that attempts only apply to items marked as exceptions. In a work queue within Blue Prism, attempts are specifically related to how many times the system has tried to process an item that has been flagged as an exception. This means that if an item encounters an issue during processing and is marked as an exception, the attempts counter will increment each time the item is retried.

Items in a work queue can have various statuses, and only those marked as exceptions will have the mechanism for counting attempts activated. When the item is retried, the count helps in managing how many times the process has encountered failures for that particular item. This is useful for workflow management and ensuring that resources are allocated appropriately to problem items.

The other statements do not accurately capture how attempts are used in Blue Prism's work queues.
