Hello,
Where can I find values (not labels) assigned to objects (e.g., patients) within a model? For examples, if a patient has gone through three different processes, where can I find specific process times assigned to the patient? I tried to find the information through properties or model tree but only see values assigned for labels.
Thank you.
You can add a tracked variable to support this exploration. You can add a Statistics Collector. Such instruments are supporting you to collect data in your model.
What I want is overall statistics across entities but a process time assigned to a specific agent and want to check it real time (before the end of the simulation.). process times will be generated based on the distribution I use and I want to know what value was generated for a specific agent. could you let me know how I check this information?

You could listen to the process activities entry and exit time using a statistics collector. To simplify that you might want to create a group and add the relevant activities using a script like this:
Object processFlow=Model.find("Tools/ProcessFlow/ProcessFlow");
Object o;
forobjecttreeunder(processFlow){
o=a;
if (classes(o).first.name=="People::Process"){
Group("ProcessActivities").addMember(o);
}
}
If you're stats collector is detecting the token entry and exit times it will capture the duration but not necessarily the process time as staff may be preempted away.
To combat that you could edit the code of the process time field to add a label to the token which the stats collector reads containing the process time.
If you're happy editing the code, you could also just write the values to a table, map or array somewhere.
