Reporting time

hello,

In this model, the operator collects totes and places them on the pallet. In the Report table, I count the time from the moment he picks up the pallet until he picks the last totes of each order as you can see. How can I count the time from the moment he collects the first pick of each order? For example, i see that for Order 1 he starts to collects after 5 seconds have passed from running the model, that's the time I want to start counting and not from the moment he picks up the pallet. I need to do this for each order. Thank you.

@Mary P

I made some modifications to your model that I think accomplish what you are asking for. When you set the start time for the duration report I created a label called "FirstPick" and set it to -1. Then before the picking_time delay I check that label and set it to the current time if it is still < 0. Then in the code for the report I added two more columns with that start time and the duration.

I hope this gets you what your looking for,

Brandon

@Mary P

This sounds like an ideal use case for using milestones. It's super easy if you use the Milestone process flow activity. Just put a milestone activity at the point you want to start recording a time interval and then put another activity at the point you want to stop. Then in the activity's properties set the milestone name.

To display the intervals just drag out a chart from the Milestone Templates section of the dashboard library and choose the two milestones you want to use for the interval.

See the attached model
