How to send the staff member to home position after certain work is done

I have a staff member who go to the equipment when it is faulted. However, the issue I see is that the staff member stays there even after resolving the fault until they get a next call to resolve the fault on different equipment. What steps I need to take so that the staff person goes back to the home position once they resolve the fault on the given robot? In addition to that, while they walk for their home position, if another robot faults, they should start heading there as well. I am using dispatcher which is connected to the staff person.

Hi @Jeanette F. Thanks for letting me know about this. I actually looked into this but wasn't sure what do to. Felix Möhlmann's answer gave m the solution but he has posted it in the comment. So I will accept the original thread of the answer.

As part of its task sequence give it a task to travel to a location or try using the OnResource Available trigger to test for more tasks and if there are none travel to a location.

Thank you very much for the response! It seems like it is working partially correct. Means, it is always going to the position I defined even though there are still other equipments to be repaired. I put the condition like attached in the image. What I want ultimately is if there are no equipments faulted then the member go to home position. If he is on the way to home position and then equipment goes faulted, he should abort going to home position and should travel to the faulted machine. I tried peempt options but seems not to be working.

Another concept in this answer - standard task is waiting at home. Operator leaves this state being preempted away to do jobs of higher priority.
