The best way to add multiple items to your Bar Chart, rather than trying to add the resource, is to add your objects you want to take statistics of to a group, then add the group to your Bar Chart. This allows you to copy or delete items, and as long as the main object you are making copies of is part of the group, then they will always show up in the Bar Chart.

@yoni A That is very strange, can you upload your model so we can take a look at your group?

see attached @Joshua S, also I have a question on the last block there is a batch activity, when I change it to 3, tokens will not move to the sink, they move only to the sink when batch quantity is 1 why?

@yoni A So you can't get state statistics on process flow activities. You can however use zones which you are using which have a ton of statistics options available to them. Why you can't batch is you are acquiring "Poka Yoke OP" and preventing any other token from acquiring that OP, so when it gets to the batching operation it gets stopped and doesn't release the OP to allow the next token to acquire "Poka Yoke OP". To fix this, put your "Release" activity right before your batching activity.

@yoni A You really aren't gathering statistics on the resource, bu the token as it is flowing through the processes. This is different than a 3D object where it is given commands and tasks to accomplish. Tokens flow from one activity to another, and things happen to the token until it is released to the next activity. I uploaded a very simple model where you can see the different statistics you can pin to the dashboard by click on the pin button. zoning.fsm
