Work steps in processflow

I am just starting to get familiar with process flow, and am trying to understand how to include individual process steps that make up the total process time. I tried to build a sub flow and include it in the process time section in the combiner, but that doesn't seem to work. I was hoping someone tried to do something similar, and can help me out.

Please find the model attached.

Thank you,

Achuta

Hi @achuta.kalidindi

I have reattached your model with some changes.

Queues >> OnEntry >> Add a label named as "Type" and assign a value(1,2,3,4) based on the flow item.

Event-Triggered Source creates a token based on the OnEntry of the combiner. Then assign a label named as "item" to the created token. This will link the entering item of the combiner to the created token.

Using Assign labels activity, I have added the label value "Type" to the entering token.

Then Acquire the operator and define the token label to associate with the acquired resource. This will link the Operator to the token. Check the quick properties window for the label associated with the token.

In Decide activity, based on the label "Type" value send the tokens to the respective delay task sequence activity.

I hope this what you are trying to achieve.

Thanks.
