Picking by label and time

Hi, I created a simple picking model in which there are 3 types of products. There is a sequence of orders for specific product types at specific times (GlobalTable1 and Process Flow Source). How can I make it so the forklift only picks up the specified product types. From what I have tried, I think I should add a query in the "pull from list" task, because using "WHERE Type == 2" as a query makes the forklift to only pick up the green boxes. Is there any way in which I can program a query to make the forklift choose the types with the order specified in GlobalTable1? Thanks in advance.

Yes- you need to reference the Type label on the token instead of writing '2'.

Now - when there's a query expression like WHERE Type= something , you can't reference token directly you have to use the keyword puller instead - and you've already got that set to be the token. So you can just use puller.Type.

We encourage students to search the documentation for guidance and in this case you can find more information about these types of query expressions here.
