Total number of pending requests for a staff group

I have a staff group that holds multiple resources for nursing. I would like to understand how many requests are coming in for any of the nurses that are a part of that group at any point in the process. I have many "acquire resource" activities that call for one of the RNs from the RN group. If the patient/token has to wait at one of these "acquire resource" activities until their RN is available I want to count them and have them on a time series chart. I am trying to understand the queue that starts to back up when I don't have enough RNs in the model.

Thanks in advance!

Open the statistics panel of the staff resource you want to collect this information for.

Then pin the "Request Content" stat to a dashboard.

You can then further customize the resulting chart (adjust title, legend entries, colors...).

That is essentially what I want but I can only do that for a single process flow activity but it doesn't seem to catch all of the requests throughout the entire process flow for the staff group (not just a single staff resource). Not all of my patients flow down the same pathway but they do pull from the same staff groups.

You can either link all Acquire and Release activities to the same resource. Or you link the resources to each other, so they all count as the same.

Would this work across multiple process flows and subflows as well?
