In plain English
A queue is a line of jobs waiting their turn. When something is queued, it has already been added to that line. Its processing has not started yet.
In context
Here, queued reports that the job has been placed in a background waiting line and has not started processing yet.
- Situation
- Reading processing, queue, validation, success, warning, and error messages
- What it communicates
- reports that the job has been placed in a background line for later handling
Meaning limits
By itself, queued does not tell you when processing will begin or what the eventual result will be.
Examples
“The print job stayed queued behind three others and did not start during the meeting.”
“By noon, five image imports were still queued in the background.”
