Inter arrival time source setting label from Global Table according to the time

Hello !

I am looking for creating a source that delivers flowitem always at the same speed, so a inter-arrival time source is good. But I also need those flowitems to have different types or labels according to the time in the day and the day of the week or month. I could have this in a Global Table.

Is there a way to create such a source that accesses a Global Table for assigning label with Process Flow ? The use of Process Flow is here important as creating another model would not mean for someone else to redo the source. He could just use the Source customized with Process Flow.

Best regards,

Sebastien

Have you considered using an Assign Labels activity in process flow after your Source? You can then access a table by selecting "By Global Table Lookup". Hopefully this helps!

(Note: You would change these values to match your model)
