Push to list by time

Hi there, I have some problems when setting the source. I use global list to store the output of the source. If I want to do some adjustments with the push to list activity that the items are pushed to list every 20 mins. The output items will be stored in the queue until they are pushed to list. How can I achieve this setting? Thanks for any of your assistance!

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.1.3

global list push to list timer

You could use a zone with a maximum content of 1 to force a delay of at least 20s between pushes.

Thank you so much for your help! Your suggestion is very useful! I still get some problem with this model that I inspect the model and do some adjustment. That I want the items to be push into list in a certain time, with all the items that are not yet be pushed in the list. But the model for now is to push one to list every interval. I'm wondering how can i set it to push all of the item that is not yet pushed in the list. Thank you!

For that I'd use a Wait for Event activity that holds the tokens until a regular event happens. The event could be a token leaving an Inter-arrival source.
