Schedule source: rowNumber

Hi, I think it is a stupid question, but I just want to make sure this.

I use schedule source for defining customer demand. On the table I use 0, 1, 2, etc in the "time" field, indicating when corresponding demand qty are generated. Then I assign new label called "TreatDay" to get the day of demand (in integer, e.g. 1: sun; 2: mon; etc). By using "values by case" and case function "rowNumber" I set the case and desired day number (as attached)

I wonder should I use case = 0 for appointing the first row in my table because I set time = 0 in the first row? Or should I use case = 1

The rowNumber tells you what row in the table the token is associated with. All tokens created from the first row in the table will have a rowNumber of 1.

This arrival table will give you the following tokens and rowNumbers:

Token ID	rowNumber
1	1
2	1
3	1
4	2
5	2
6	3
7	4
8	4

@Matthew Gillespie

So, it depends on the quantity created in each row, isn't it?

Then, a further question would be, how we can use "case function" in the "values by case" such that we refer to all quantities generated per row. I want to set a label for all quantities per row with the same value

Also, I have tried this way. Setting the case function = rowNumber and case value for the first row = 1, the second row = 2, etc I got this result:

I checked the name of token and corresponding treatday and it seems working

For RU_Tue: treatday = 3, for RU_Wed: treatday = 4, etc

No, it doesn't depend on the quantity created. Every token created from Row1 will have a rowNumber of 1. That's why in my example Tokens 1-3 have a rowNumber of 1 since Row1 creates 3 tokens. Row2 creates 2 tokens so Tokens 4-5 have a rowNumber of 2, etc.

It looks like you are using the rowNumber correctly in the Values By Case popup though. Tokens from Row1 will get a 5, from Row6 will get a 3, and from Row7 will get a 4.

You can also add label columns directly to the table. Then you don't even need to worry about referencing the rowNumber:
