I want to have three operators in charge of six processors, and when the temporary entity arrives at the processor, the idle operator goes to the processor for an initial care evaluation, and then the operator comes to the processor every hour for a follow-up care evaluation. How does that work?
You could use a simple process flow. When an item enters a processor a token is created which will regularly dispatch a task sequence to go to the processor and to do the evaluation (delay task). After one hour, it checks if the item is still on the processor. If that is the case, the task sequence is dispatched again. Otherwise the token is destroyed.
You could also build the same logic using the 'On Entry' and 'On Message' triggers of the processors. A delayed message would be send every hour, triggering the creation of the task sequence in the 'On Message' trigger (using code). Using the process flow is easier though as it does not require any coding.
