Release Transport Activity but do not return transport

In my model, after a person is transported by gurney to fixed resource 2 (BasicFR2) I move the used gurney to Queue1. I want the gurney to remain in Queue1, but I also want to release the transport so it can be used later in the model. When I use the "Release Transport" activity, the RN1 staff comes to get the gurney and moves it back to where the gurney originated. Is there a way to use the "Release Transport" activity and ignore or disable the need for returning the transport back to it's origin?

Hi,

To obtain that behavior you have to change the following property of the gurney:

In your model this parameter has a value of 1, set it to 0 for all your gurneys and they will stay where you put them when released.

I hope it helps!
