Problem with "Acquire Location"

dev-model-09-28-2019-1.fsm

This program was going well until I found out that if an designated exam table is available, the patient should be taken to the exam room for triage instead of to the triage area. My attempt to do this is in the "CMA Escort Weight Triage" section. If a patient is a group 3 patient then he will be triaged in the triage area because they do not go through the exam area. I put in the action Acquire Location as Acquire Exam Table with the understanding that if the exam table was not available, the patient will be sent through the triage area for triage. With the restricted input into the model, the first 3 patients perform as expected but the forth patient still tries to go to the exam table for triage and is blocked at the scales.

I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong in this step.

Thanks for the help.

In the Use Max Wait Timer panel you need to open the OnWaitTimerFired trigger and change the Release Token destination from a 1 to a 2 so that it releases the token out of the second connector and not the first.
