How to Retrieve Statistics from a Local Lists Labels?

Hello,

I have a few local lists in my model which I use to create an appointment schedule for patients to receive care. What I would like to do is retrieve information about the specific priority levels of patients from the lists and the time they spend waiting to be able to retrieve care. Unfortunately, I cannot retrieve this information from the list - rather, the only information I can retrieve is the total number of patients coming through rather than per priority level. Is there a way to work around this?

Thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.2.3

Probably not. You can only get such statitical data, if you convert them to be global lists.

Would it only take converting them to global lists to retrieve the data?

Yes, you can get the data on the list by making them into global lists. You can add Fields to be something like the image below. That would add columns to the list that included the YourPriorityLabel of the patient and the time the patient has been on the list. Are you trying to make decisions based on this information on the list (as in what to pull from the list) or are you wanting to retrieve the data for something else?

If you put a resource activity for lists in process flow sheet and link this activity to your global list, you can get access to predefined statistical outputs in the quick properties pane.

@Selena C using a list to get the stats by Priority would probably be possible, but I think it would be easier to just use a zone for this. The token will enter the zone right before the list and exit right after the list.

You can then add a partition to the zone that divides the tokens by priority.

Looking at the zone stats, you can see the current, average, and maximum value for tokens in each partition (split by Priority level).

Does that help you record the stats that you were hoping to? Also, this would make it so you could use an internal list still instead of a global list.

Thank you! That helps in separating it by priority level. Can it also work with looking at the staytime of each priority level?

Yes, you can create a Zone Partition Statistics chart under the "Zone" header in the Dashboard library. This allows you to get the stats (current, min, max, avg) by partition for a lot of different things including staytime.

Is this something I need to add into FlexSim? It does not seem that I have the option for Zones in the dashboard library
