Question about Staytime by Type graph

I'm trying to understand how the "Staytime by Type" graph interprets Type. In the attached model a source creates 5 items of type 1, 3 of type 2, and 2 of type 3 and then it resets. I would expect this pattern to show up in the "Staytime by Type" graph, but the pattern seems random.

How should I set up the "Type" in the graph settings to get the correct pattern?

I took a look at the model, but it's just creating random types, using duniform() for type and color. Is it the right model?

@jordan.johnson The issue seems to be that an exiting flowitem is recorded as the Type of the most recent entering flowitem.

Yup, that's a bug. I'll get that fixed in the next bug fix release. It will affect all Throughput templates, and all By Type templates. For now, you can install the template, and change the four activities called Log Event to "Read" rather than "Label Access on Parent Only".
