I need to create a token for each queue I have in my model, so then I can pass them to create a list of my empty queues.
Thanks!

Hi Marc,
one possible solution is to create a group with the queues and then generate as many tokens as GroupMembers and then pushing the reference to the queue to the list like in this example:
Use an instanced object process flow instead of a general flow. Then you refer to the queue as 'current' anywhere you need a reference. The are a few benefits - if you were to have many queues and therefore lots of tokens you can more easily track the token of an instance by viewing just that queue's process flow instance.
Thanks Jason,
In my case, I am trying to get a list of empty racks and a list of empty slots, to then manage where they should go by checking the list.
I am not sure how to do it with instanced process flow...
The model is in initial stage, but you can see it here:
You don't need tokens for that - you can use a Global List and set the initial content to a Group.
(By the way - your use of the word Slot for your Queues and Racks (I can't see them) is confusing for us since they are concepts of the Storage System which you don't appear to be using)
Update: Attaching model using an instance process flow to register your Slots (Queues) and Racks (Flowitems).
