Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
When a workflow needs to make dynamic decisions based on multiple possible values, the Flow Switch activity is the best choice.
Step-by-Step Execution Guide:
1️⃣ Drag and Drop a Flow Switch Activity in UiPath Studio
2️⃣ Set the Expression – Define the variable that determines the execution path.
3️⃣ Configure Cases – Add multiple possible values and specify corresponding actions.
Example Scenario: Order Processing System
A company wants to route customer orders based on order type:
"Electronics" → Assign order to Electronics Department
"Clothing" → Assign order to Clothing Department
"Grocery" → Assign order to Grocery Department
vb
CopyEdit
Dim OrderType As String = "Electronics"
Using a Flow Switch, we set up:
???? Case "Electronics" → Call Electronics Processing Workflow
???? Case "Clothing" → Call Clothing Processing Workflow
???? Case "Grocery" → Call Grocery Processing Workflow
???? Default Case → Log "Invalid Order Type"
This allows dynamic decision-making in a clear, maintainable way.
Why the other options are incorrect?
❌ A. If Activity – If is limited to two conditions (True/False). It does not support multiple branching paths.
❌ B. Flow Decision – Similar to If Activity, Flow Decision only supports binary conditions.
❌ D. While Loop – A loop is used for repeating actions, not decision-making.
