How to track from-to of flowitem

The process is below:

1. Source1 -> Queue1 -> Queue2 (Label 1)

2. Source2 -> Queue1 -> Queue3 (Label 2)

Is there any way to create a global table as below?

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.0.1

Hi J,

A way of doing that is using an "On Entry" trigger for all the queues. Inside the trigger, you have to choose "Data → Add Row and Data to Global Table" and configure it like this:

You should also set the table so that all the rows are deleted On Reset.

I attach a small model to better illustrate how all of that works: 24.0 Track FromTo.fsm

I hope it helps!

Here's an alternive technique using and stats collector and object process flow (to save you having to copy/manage entry triggers, and to save data space).

Hi Paula,

I used your method. But it didn't work if I check the use transport and choose push to list for using the AGV process flow on StationA. The system console shows "Array index out of bounds at MODEL:/A>variables/entrytrigger" as below. Is there any other way to solve this problem?
