how to use process flow for task executers and multiple buffers?

Based on tutorial 3.1 I try to manage the work of an operator in a factory using process flow. Depending on the buffer that makes the request or the type of item, then the operator must take it to one destination or another. Can someone tell me some indications of how to record those kind of data in the model so that the load and unload subflows takes it into account and will be more flexible.

Thank you.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.1

process flow lists flexsim 21.1.1 task executers

Hello @Carmen F,

An easy way is: add a label in the item for each destination (f.ex.:MyDestination) or create an option in "Assign Labels: Destination" (Values by case, based for example on Item.Type).

In your model you need to add another "Event Triggered-Source" link to "MainQueue2" or create another event in your source.
