Delay time using global table

please help me link the delay activity with the global table "C1", I want it to look for the label "Code" assigned to each flow item and return the value in column "Time".

I used the global table lookup function as shown below and it gives me the errors shown below.

NB. this process flow is linked to a 3D model processor.

The global table lookup looks in the row headers (the gray boxes on the left side) for the specified row value. So that lookup will only work if you move the Code column into the row headers.

Otherwise you need to use the Table.getValueByKey() method:

Table("C1").getValueByKey(token.Code, 3, 2)

There are many examples of how to create tokens based on table values here on Answers.

Often within the token source you will create as many tokens as there are table rows and use the token index to read the correct row for the token.

It's hard to give you the right answer just looking at an image. Can you attach your model?


If the Code label is on an item then you'd want to assign the item to a label in the source activity and then use token.item.Code.
