How do I get and put the time of day into a label

In the file that I added to FlexSim files shared site, Scenario 2-Experiments 0516, I would like to add the current model time to a label on the patient. later on I would like to use this time value in comparison with other time values, such as process start time and scheduled arrival time. But first I need help with getting the values into labels.

Thanks

Hello @Tee Hiett,

You can access the Model time to get it in different formats. The simplest of these is

Model.time()
