Hi im new to the software, is there a way to make a single source create two items in a batch style quantity?
i.e 40 of item a, followed by 40 of item b.
I have tried using label by percentage but then i am unable to colour the items differently.
If there are relevant tutorials on this topic please point me in their direction.
Thankyou!

scheduled source mode or sequence source mode. Set a quantity.
set color by case in On Exit trigger. Switch Condition is item.Type.
Hi Joerg,
I have just tried that and it isn't changing the colours.
These are the current settings i have and the error can also be seen that i am receiving along with my file that i am currently running.
Thankyou for your time!
The switch value in the "Color by Case" option doesn't necessarily have to be "Type", but rather the label you assigned to the item. In your case, you assign a label called "MyLabel1" in the arrival sequence table. Either change this name to "Type" or use "MyLabel1" in the trigger option.
Furthermore, you haven't actually set any colors for the possible label values yet. Only red as the default color for when the value is not handled otherwise is set.
Add more options by clicking on the green plus icon an define a color for each possible value of the label.
If you don't care what specific color each value is assigned you could also just use the "Set Object Color" pick option with "Color.byNumber".
