Determine flowtime by referring to a Global Table

Hi,

How I can refer a flowtime in Create patient to a global table by defining the gender of each person in a separate column?

I created a Global Macro to refer to the column and seems that doesn't work.

Also, I do not know in the "Row" by Looking up from a Global Table, should I refer to the token.Row or token. Name (Name is another label that I created for each person).

Attached is the simple model and the error I'm getting when run the code.

Thanks

sample_model_office_1.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.1.2

flowitem label create person

Hey @Maryam H2, it seems the first person in the table is created correctly at 8AM, but the second person at 8:30AM throws an error. The error occurs at the Create Patient activity when referencing your People Parameters global table. When clicking on the 1st cell under Gender, it shows a little script icon next to it:

However, the other cells under gender did not. I realized that the 1st cell had a different data type than the other cells - it was FlexScript Data while the rest were not. After changing all the cells to have the FlexScript Data type, the program ran smoothly.

To change the data type of a cell, highlight the cells you want to change, right click, hover over Assign Data, then select the type you want.

Hope this helps!
