Acquire one from many resources on process flow

Dear all,

I have a model using Process Flow and I'd like to acquire one resource to my token, but between many resources I'd like to acquire the first that becomes available, like the token was requesting from many resources at the same time and any of them will fullfil the requirement if available. Is that possible to do with the resource tool?

Thanks in advance

@Lucas Klein

If I understand correctly you are trying to connect one Acquire to multiple resources. It is not possible to connect 1 Acquire to multiple resources. Rather what is best would be to create a resource that would reference to a Group which had all Task Executers/resources. This would automatically pick any of them that are available to fulfill that requirement.

If this is not what you are looking for, please send your model and specify a little more about what you are trying to achieve so we can help you find a better solution.

The problem is that I need the 3 resources separated in other parts of the processFlow. It is like I have 4 item types, the 3 first types can use only your own resource, but type 4 can be attended by any one of the 3

Could you send your model?

You could have 4 Resources, 1 with the 3 individually and one with all three as the reference.
