Can 1 queue have both outbound and inbound functions?

Can 1 queue achieve both inbound and outbound functions?

I've been trying different combinations,

For example, the time of a specific morning is inbound,

The afternoon and evening are outbound,

or mix, depending on the order,

And there can only be 1 item on the queue,

Does this require table or process flow?

outbound +inbound.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.1

You can try to use Port By Case in the Send and Pull fields such that you pull and send to/from 1 or 2 depending on the time of day. You can either put expressions in those fields to decide the time for every item, or use a label that is set on some timetabled event. When switching from one port to another you should probably open the inputs of the queue to force the pull reevaluation.
