I don't understand the Activity in "Release Token" in the attached model.

triageorexamroom.fsm

This is a model @Matthew Gillespie developed for me. I don't understand the Activity "Release Token" in the process group "Acquire Room and Triage."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the process can't immediately get an exam room, then it is split so that it can acquire either an exam room or a triage location. If the exam room is acquired before a triage location is obtained, then the "Release Token" activity moves the token in Acquire Triage to "Release Waiting Room"; the split tokens are joined immediately, and the triage is performed in the acquired exam room.

It a triage spot is obtained while waiting for an exam room then the acquisition of the exam room will not move any tokens since none are in the AcquireTriage activity.

Thanks, @Jason Lightfoot . My problem was I didn't understand "Release Token." Is this topic covered in the documentation?

Thanks for your help, especially on this holiday weekend.

No problem. Yes, it's covered here (I should have linked to it before).
