Wait for Event depending on a content

Hello,

In my simulation, I would like to wait for an event that check a list content. If the list content is above a treshold, token pass through.

For now, I just found a way to work with On Content Change, but the change rule "Greater than" does not exist. How can I do that ?

Best regards

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.1.0

The appropriate rule would be Increase To Or Through Value, which is equivalent to >=.
The below configuration would block the token until the content is at least 17.

Thank you for your feedback. But how could I proceed not on Content Change, but on always checking the content value ?

As you can see in Allister's screenshot the checkbox "Fire If Initial Value Meets Rule" is checked meaning it will release the arriving token immediately if the content is already over 17.
