Allow Flow Item to Pass Despite Other Flow Item Blocking

I have a flow item that must be moved (from queue to processor) by an operator who is not available. During the time in which this operator is not available, I want to allow another operator to move another flow item from that same queue to that same processor. How can this be done? Please see the example model attached.

Hi @Nicholas D,

I was able to modify your model to achieve your desired result. I used Process Flow to acquire a specific operator depending on what the BatchNum of the FlowItem was. I hope this helps! Let us know if you have further questions!
