Paint slot labels using process flow/script

Hi,

I'm trying to assign a lable to every slot in the racks. At the moment the solution I found is:

-Go to Toolbox/Storage System/Slot Labels and create a new label (with a palette assigned to semplify the visualization of the label);

-Go to Library/Paint Slot Labels and select the label just created;

-Assign manually the values to the slots;

Is it possible to do this type of assignment using the process flow or a script (maybe using the address of the slot)?

Thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.2.2

processflow flexsim 20.2.2 script paint slot labels

Yes you just need a slot reference (via a loop) and then set a label value on it. If you run this script you can see how it prints all the slots in the model to the console and assigns the label "SKU" the value "A".

applicationcommand("outputconsole");
clearconsole();
Variant allslots=Storage.system.querySlots("");
for (int n=allslots.length;n>0;n--){
    Storage.Slot thisslot=allslots[n];
         print (nodetopath(thisslot.as(treenode),1));
     print ("SlotID:" ,thisslot.slotID, " bayID:  "     ,thisslot.bayID, "LevelID: ", thisslot.levelID);
    thisslot.SKU="A";   //  Assign your label and value here.
}

So then you can use the IDs to look up the slot labelling from a table somewhere.
