How to get raw events with timestamps for each activity?

Hello!

How to capture and export raw events (more specifically state change events) for various objects in the model? For example staff, task executor, fixed resources etc. I am able to see the values that goes into the graph by double clicking the graph --> Advanced --> View table. However, that shows aggregated data. Means, it shows total time spent rather than each event time.


For example, the screenshot shows how much total time the object spent in specific state. What I want is the raw data which will have timestamp of each state change possibly with time spent in each state. It may look like at 12:00 pm the operator was processing, at 12:05 pm the operator was travelling. With the the calculated processing time of 5 minutes. (12:05 - 12:00).

For state changes a state gantt can be used. It collects and displays what is described above. If you install the chart components, the duration can be easily extracted in a calculated table.

Hi @Felix Möhlmann . This is exactly what I am looking for. I tried it but why I am getting different option when I select State Gantt than what you shared in the model? I see you mentioned install chart components. Is that related to that and how to do that?

Yes, in order to access the Statistics Collector that is used for the chart in the calculated table you have to install the chart's components (Install button in the "Advanced" tab at the bottom of the properties)
