Hi,
I have two Statistics Collectors, one to save item arrival time (Source - On Creation) and the other for the time when it finalizes its process (Sink - On Entry). My first question is if it is necessary to have two different Statistics Collectors for this use or if I can save this data using only one? My second question is what do I need to write on the "Query" space of Calculated Table to calculate staytime per item?
Thank you!
You can compute the staytime by the command getentrytime(obj) in the sink. Then you don’t depend on two tables anymore.

Hi @Maria B6, the milestone collectors are ideal for calculating the staytime of items as they travel throughout the model. They are very similar to stats collectors except for they only measure the time when the milestone happens. I made a small example of a milestone collector that measures when an item is created and when it is destroyed. You can then see the table of times for each item and also make plots in the dashboard using those staytimes.
