How pull from List with a combiner.

Hi, Im a new FlexSim developer and therefore I don't know how to this.

I have a combiner which recieves 5 different itemtypes to make 4 different orders from a Global List. So far it gets the itemtypes from a Queue from inputs 2-6 and that works perfectly.

Now I need to do this but without a connection but using a ItemList (either pushing the items orderer as the global list demands or unordered and pulling them ordered in the combiner) ,so far I've tried to push the item's to the list when they enter the Queue but I don't see how to pull them without a connection to the combiner

I'm using the template AGV Process Flow for AGV control (I still don't understand quite well how Process Flow works :( ) so the items are arriving to the Queue thru taskexecuters driving in a AGV circuit in a round robin fashion and randomly delivering the items to the Queue with a uniform distribution from 1 to 5. Can this be done somehow? Should I "do" de order list in other place of my model (as the task executers retrieve the items from a rack)?? Thank you very much in advance!

One way is to have tokens in process flow pull from the list and move the items to queues that are connected to the combiner. Also you could use split and join features or batching in process flow after pulling items from the list and move the item to a processor. @Pablo Herrero
