creating a table after an event happens

I have a route with multiple machines. 2 preparation machines and 2 finishing machines. The operator sends the subassembly from the preparation machine to either of the finishing machines randomly. How I can make a table triggered when the operator picked a box from the preparation machines, and before he goes to the finishing machines that shows all possible destinations he could go?

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.3

I would recommend using a list. Put all the finishing machines on the list. Then, the operator can "pull" from the list. The other nice thing about using a list, if you do it in process flow, is that you can wait until one of the finishing machines is ready for the item. Also, you can use a query to get the best machine from the list.

You can read the manual about lists, and you can watch this segment from training:
