Creating a "Locations" Label for a Companion

Hi There,

I have found how to model patient companions at this link: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/91919/release-waiting-room-when-the-companion-goes-with.html

However, I cannot figure out how/where to create the patient.CompanionLocations label. Can someone please give me a hand?

@Matthew Gillespie I believe you answered the original question linked above.

Thank you,

Ashlee

That post is suggesting that when you acquire a resource for the companion you change the label it's assigned to from patient.Locations to patient.CompanionLocations. That way the patient has a separate label that lists the locations acquired just for the companion.

For example, in the model I attached in my answer if you look at the Get Chair activity that acquires a chair for the companion:

Do I not need to "define" this label somewhere though? I don't see it in People Settings.

The acquire activity will create the new label on the patient at the time it acquires the location. You just have to tell it the name of the label you want it placed in and the activity will make sure the label gets created.

You only have to have the label listed in People Settings if you need to use that label value in some statistical report.
