To add a new state in the Dashboard

 Hello, I'm a beginner in FlexSim and I have a question regarding the "state" of AGV in the Dashboard. I would like to know if it is possible to add a new state (in addition to the 50 built-in states).
 In the new state, I would like to include "ControlPoint1" to "ControlPoint2" within the "utilized" category for calculation purposes. Could you please guide me on how to make this modification?

As shown in the above diagram, I would like to have "ControlPoint1" recorded as "utilized" directly (similar to the effect shown in the following diagram).

You could create a new separate General ProcessFlow like below :

In the process flow you can create an event triggered source which will trigger the creation of a token when the AGV deallocates Control Point 8 (which is same as arrival at Control Point 1)

Then, the custom code block in process flow has an option of setting object state shown in 2nd image below. After that you can sink the token and when the AGV picks up the object at ControlPoint 2 , it should change to travel loaded.

Image 1 (General Process Flow):

Looks like this image below when I did it :

Hello, thank you for your response.

I followed the steps you provided for the setup, but it didn't work as expected. Therefore, I would like to inquire about the "Custom Code" section to confirm if I have set it up correctly.

Change the trigger to detect deallocaiton and change the control point to deallocate when past the CP:

I attempted to convert ControlPoint1 into "deallocate when past the CP," as you mentioned, but despite extensive testing, there hasn't been any improvement. Could you please provide a simplified version for better understanding? Thank you for your dedicated response.
