How to force a state to a Task Executor

I have a task executor which tugs dolly behind it. After reaching the destination I have added delay sequence to mimic unloading, after that I want it to travel back to origin but the state of the TE should show travel empty on dashboard. How can I achieve that?

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.5

Hi @Jay K9,

One way to have a task executor return to the original position and have the state show travel empty is to use process flow. As long as the task executor is no longer loaded, it will be in the travel empty state and will be shown in a dashboard table. I have included a simple model that shows how this works.
