ProcessFlow Travel using network node

Hello,

I want to use a travel option with ProcessFlow but my travelers are not going into the network node.

I have tried using several travel activities to the network nodes and a reassignnetnode in a code snippet. It gets the operator into the node network but at the start it disappears and apperars again in the node.

Is there a simple way of doing this?

Here is a little example:

reasigna-nodo.fsm

Thank you.

You're seeing the jumping because the person is still inside the Queue when you tell them to travel. You should move them out of the queue before travelling with a Move Object activity. Here's an example:

reassignnode.fsm

It looks like you were using the Task Executer as Flowitem pickoption as a starting point. Take a look at its description:

Task Executer as Flowitem. Move the item into the model, then connect it to a NetworkNode that is connected to this object. Then tell it to travel to the destination and unload itself into the object. Note: this will only work for flow items created from the TaskExecuterFlowItem in the flow item bin.

It works fine, the only problem is that visual pattern of item placement does not change to "line up" or smth else. How to fix it?

Move the person inside the queue at the end of the travel with another move object activity

Thank you very much. It works fine with me. You basically need to use "Move" for tokens to Queue 1 or Queue 2, as you said.
