Custom Function: Move_Job_to_other_Blueprint

Custom Function: Move_Job_to_other_Blueprint

This custom function can be used to move a job to any blueprint created using the same layout, automatically. 

Business Scenario

  • In a food processing business, once the food items are packed and ready to be shipped in the Manufacturing Blueprint, the job can be moved to the Shipping Blueprint. Here, the job moves through different series of steps where the shipping details can be tracked. 

  • Similarly, you can break down complex processes into simpler ones and move the jobs from one blueprint to another one in the same layout.  

Steps to configure the custom function

Before executing this custom function, you will have to configure the arguments and authorizate connections. Follow the below steps to configure the function. 

1. Configure the Arguments

First, configure  Argument Values for all the parameters used in the custom function. You can either specify the Custom Value or choose a Layout Field from the dropdown. Layout fields capture dynamic values from job fields corresponding to the custom function. 




  • jobID : Choose the  Job ID  Layout Field here. You can also specify the ID of the job. This will be available in the Job URL ( orchestly.zoho.com/blueprint/<org-name>/<module>/<jobID>). 


2. Provide authorization using Connections


Connections helps you authenticate the API call for specific scopes of Orchestly and other internal Zoho applications used in the custom function. 

    1.   Invoke Connections to authorize your Orchestly account.

  • Click the  +Connections button in  Custom Functions . A new tab will open in your browser. 

  • Click  Add Connection in the top-right corner.

  • Choose  Zoho Oauth  from the  Pick Your Service tab.

  • Enter a  Connection Name and choose the 'Orchestly.job.ALL' Scope to connect. 

    2.   After successful authentication, include the connection details in the response block of the custom function. 

                   e.g: connection : <Connection-name>


Once the above steps are configured, you are all set to execute the custom function. 



Move_Job_to_other_Blueprint  is a part of Orchestly's pre-define custom functions available in Function Gallery. However, you can also write your own  custom functions  in Orchestly.
