Counting item time in queue

Hi, is there any way I can count an item's time in queue, so if it stays in the queue for more than a minute before going into the next processor, it returns to the previous processor instead. However, if it is less than a minute, it proceeds to the next processor.

Hi, Terra.

You can use Global List. I attach a example model here.

Don't forget to check this option.

Hi @jing.chen Thank you so much!
Is there any cases such as after processor1 there is a queue and another processor2 then another queue then processor3. Can I still use itemList for when the item is pushed from processor1 then pulled by processor3, and in between, there are still ongoing processing from the queue to processor2 to another queue?

The itemList can store any items push to it which may from different objects.

Sorry for not quite understanding what you describe.

Would you please attach a model to explain what you want clearly?
