Tracking queue time separately for same item

Hi - im looking for a solution to track queue waiting time for each flow item moving through the processing line.

im not quite sure how to set up the statistic collector to monitor the queue time separately

Example :

Item Name	Queue 1 Waiting Time	Queue 2 Waiting Time
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4

Thanks in advance.

You can create this using the item as the row value which then allows you to update the columns for the correct row.

You can use the item's last move time in the exit event of each queue to update the staytime.

This format (item x queues) does not scale well/generically since it relies on a column for each queue. If you had thousands of queues I would record each exit event in one row with the columns for staytime, queue and item name. The you could add all queues to a group and listen to the exit events of the group.
