querylist.fsmI had a list of 72 operators avaivable on a list and 8 different fixed resources that pull the operators they need from the list for different sub processes. In real life the operators closest to the fixed resource will work in that location. Is there a way to use the query list option for this?
You should be able to just pull from the list with the query: ORDER BY distance, as distance is one of the fields you get with a task executer list. You may need to adjust the distance field's code if you have some weird scenario, but in general it should just work.
Hi @anthony.johnson I created a model example. I am getting an error on the distance field code. querylist.fsm
In her model when I look at the entries in the List, under the column header "distance", it just says "Puller Required". Should that be a number of some kind? Is that why there are a bunch of errors when the pull is ORDER BY distance ASC?
Hi @anthony.johnson and @Jeff Nordgren, I am encountering the same issue in FlexSim 2020 - pulling by distance doesn't seem to work, and all of the list entries just say "Puller required" even after an item has been pulled. I changed the puller to refer to the token label that refers to the other object, and have also tried setting it to leave items on the list, but nothing seems to work. Is there an example model somewhere for this that I can refer to?
When you open the list entries look over at the quick properties where you can define the puller using the sample or typing an expression. Selecting your puller will let you see if the "puller required" is replaced with the correct distance expression.
