Hello,
I would want to know how I can show the content of a pallet in a dashboard. The pallet is in a combiner and if I show the content of the combiner always show 1.
Show pallet content
FlexSim 22.1.0
To display the pallet content, you will need to create a statistics collector that stores this data. It can either be created from scratch or you can adjust the one that is created in the background when you add a chart to a dashboard.
Below, I explain the second option. If you want to learn more about how to use statistics collectors, I'd suggest you start with the respective section of the manual.
In the attached model I first pinned the combiner's content stat to a dashboard. To get access to the chart's statistics collector, "install" its components through the properties window. Afterwards, you will find a "Content Collector" in the toolbox.
Open its properties by double clicking on it. Navigate to the "Columns" tab. Here, we alter the value that gets written to the WIP column. Instead of the default option that reads the content of the combiner itself, open the code editor and paste in the following code instead.
You can also put the expression into a model documentation widget's Flexscript for a quick and dirty approach:
pt("Combiner Content: ");pd(Model.find("Combiner1").first.subnodes.length);
