Problem with Dashboard referencing Zone

When creating a table dashboard and referencing a Zone, the dashboard data don't show up. But when referencing the Enter Zone activity, at the Entrance field, and the Exit Zone activity, at the Exit field, the dashboard works as normal.Modelo_Tarefa2.fsm

Table Dashboard when referencing Zone activity:

ProcessFlow and Dashboard view:

FlexSim 23.2.1
zone

Hey @Felipe Capalbo, it looks like you're using a Staytime chart from the dashboard menu.

If you want statistics for a Process Flow activity or resource, you should go to the statistics button on that activity or resource.

That will pop up a window with statistics for that activity. The zone happens to have a Staytime statistic you can pin to a dashboard with a different looking table with the stats you may be looking for.

In this case, the Dashboard data would have to be separated by each Zone Subset, not presented in an aggregated form. Each line of the Table Dashboard would be a different Subset from the Zone.

For example:

In this case, the Dashboard is referencering the Push to list activity, not the Zone, where the problem is sited by.

@Felipe Capalbo, what is your question? From what I can see in your post, you were expecting to be able to use the Zone activity to fill in a chart that requires an Entrance and Exit object to function:

Which you figure out and get working on your own:

The chart expects certain inputs which the Zone alone cannot satisfy because it is a Shared Asset - tokens do not flow through those. So for a chart to have "Entrance Objects" and "Exit Objects" it is expecting you to supply objects (either 3D Objects or Activities) in which items flow through.

I was trying to figure out why referencing only the Zone wasn't allowing me to display the Dashboard, because on previous FlexSim versions it worked as normal. But that solution of referencing the Enter Zone and the Exit Zone works as well. Thank you!
