Is there a way to acquire a transport in people module with a condition?

Precisely I wondered if there was a possible way of adquiring a transport resource from the people module and acquiring only a member of the group with a certain label value.

E.g. If there is a group in our model called "beds" and these might be clean or dirty (labelwise) is the a way to adquire a bed (Transport ressource) if and only if the bed is clean?

Thanks you very much for your attention

Hi @Diego V12,

Are you using Process Flow? If so, you might try adding a query on the Acquire activity. The query can be something like "WHERE myLabel == 1" or "ORDER BY mylabel2 DESC". If you are able to, please post your model that you're working with and we can provide a more specific answer. Thanks!

Use the Filter By field on the Transport Resource to specify a condition like that.

The above example would work if you had a Status label on the transports that had either the value "Clean" or "Dirty".
