Staff Track

Is there anyway to orient the staff members so they follow the patient track. Currently I have staff members when they follow the task to go to "PATIENT_LOCATION" they're standing in the middle of tables, on chairs, walking through walls, etc.

I assume you're using paths to route your patients. You just need to connect your staff groups to the path network. Click on the staff group, and click Connect to Path.

When they get to the "PATIENT_LOCATION" though sometimes they stand in front of a patient, sometimes they stand next to them, sometimes they stand behind them and it does not matter if there's a piece of furniture where they are standing so they appear to be stuck in a table or chair

@Lou Keller, don't you have some material that demonstrates how to position staff around a Patient Processing object?

Here is a resource that talks about how to position staff in a couple of scenarios:

You can also connect the location to more path nodes and then staff will try to stand on their own path node:

Yes, I do. Give me a little while to update the "How-to" paper and model and I'll post it here! Thanks for the reminder!
