Task Sequence Using Global Task List

I am trying to figure out how to get the operator to complete all the tasks on a plane before they move to the next plane. I attempted using a global list to no avail. If possible, wondering if I could do it with the regular 3D Logic. However, if it's easier to use process flow, then i'd appreciate a solution.

Thank you.

@John AN

This is a solution for Process Flow:

I would have 2 different event triggered sources for each plane. They will create a token when work enters the system, and assign a label with the plane number. Then you acquire the operator, using a query to select the right plane number (Order by plane ascending) and then complete the Process Flow Chunk.

Here is a simple example of this:

Braydn,

My bad. I used the plane just to differentiate between the two areas. Removing the planes, how would I ensure that the operator completes all the tasks in the first section, before moving down to start and finish the next one?

@John AN

I understood that. You can change the variable plane to be whatever you want, but the concept is the same. The only difference to the model I sent would be preemption. If you want the operator to do all of the tasks in area 1, and then go work on tasks in area 2 until there are more tasks to complete in area 1, the model I sent you will work. If you want the operator to complete all the tasks in area 1, then go and complete all the tasks in area 2, then I can give you an example of how to do that.

Also, the example will work with a dynamic number of created items. If you want either situation but you will know the number of created items before hand, this will be much easier.

@Braydn T Awesome, I'll work on using a different variable for the model. The second option is what i want (The operator to complete all the tasks in area 1, then go and complete all the tasks in area 2.)

@John AN

Does that mean you know the number before hand?
