Clear Waiting Room at End of Day

I am interested in dashboard stats for an entire week of a blood collection centre. However, if I run the sim for more than one day, patients remain in the waiting room and some have already been registered the day before. Thus, this is not accurate as patients are able to go directly to the collection room upon opening hours and bypass registration. Is there a way to clear the waiting room at a certain hour of the day?

Hi @hanna,

This is a case where the preemption functionality in process flow can be used.
