Hi-
I've created a simple model to visualize the flows using the Sankey diagram:
1- I see the legends in the diagram do not show up correctly. Why is that?
2- How we can put a group of objects under one Milestone, meaning if the person choose each of the objects in that group it should be counted toward the same flow.
The model is attached.
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately, the Sankey diagram (from the Base Chart Types section) can't directly draw the data in a Milestone Collector. The table format of the Milestone collector isn't compatible with the format required by the Sankey diagram, which is why the legend looks strange.

In Standard FlexSim, in the Milestone section, there is a chart that draws milestone data as as Sankey diagram. That chart is a Chart Template, and under the hood, it uses a Process Flow and an additional Statistics Collector to transform the data in a Milestone Collector into a format the Sankey diagram can use.
Based on your model, it looks like you are collecting milestones by listening to events. Instead of using events, I'd use the Milestone activity, and place it in the Process Flow. That way, no matter which location the person acquires, they still are at the next step. Something like this:
