Schedule Source Dashboard

Good day, thank you for taking the time to read my query :)

I am brand new to the process flow environment and therefore feel very lost...

I am trying to create a dashboard to show me the output by type of the Schedule Source. I want to see after a month, how much of each different product has arrived.

I have tried statistics collector but can't manage to figure it out, maybe an issue with my global table? Is there a simple method to get this info on my dashboard?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.2.4

Hi @Rober G ,

You can do this by adding a label onto the tokens being created in your schedule source. This is just copying the name of the token onto a label that we can access in the Throughput By Type dashboard.

Then we just make sure the Type label matches on our dashboard, and that the Value Type is set to Text.

Note: "Type" could be any label name, it just needs to match the label you set on the token

As you run your model you can see the output of each type after however long you want. This removes the need for a stats collector and accomplishes the same thing. Hope this helps!
