How to select the correct staff member with the found location

Hi,

This question is quite similar as my last question ( https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/64686/how-to-select-the-correct-location-after-the-waiti.html ), but maybe has another solution. When the patient found his desk, he needs to find a staff member to help him at the desk. Each desk has its own staff member for now, but I can't select that staff member with a query in the acquire staaf activity. How can we do this? I saw that it tries to find the closest staff member, but that might not always be the correct one, as can be seen in the example model. Clerk4 is chosen, but it should take clerk2.

Thanks for your help,

Patrick

I created a center port connection between each desk and it's corresponding clerk. After acquiring the desk I then acquire the clerk connected to that desk's center port.
