Hello, hope this message finds you well.
I've built a model, but I'm struggling to add a dashboard that can track the throughput of the trucks. Specifically, I want the dashboard to display the time each truck spent in the system. However, I'm uncertain about how to accomplish this seeing that a created the trucks in process flow. Can someone please help me with this?
kind regards
Jodi Botha
You can use a statistics collector to gather the times by listening for token entry/exit of process flow activities. Then point your chosen display widget (gant, histogram, raw data) to the statistics collector data.
We encourage students look at the docuentation and examples on this site and try to implement something, then show us what they did so we can offer further guidance.

Good day Jason thank you for all your help so I used the statistics collector and used the tutorial on the Flexsim site but I still cant see the output at node NN7. Can a node output be read.
kind regards

Hello @Jodi B,
The nodes do not keep statistics. You can still use events like on arrival to increment the throughput value to track the number of trucks that travel through the node.
