Wait for Event releasing all tokens

In Wait for Event there is no criteria to match, then If we want to release one token at a time from Wait for Event activity how to achieve that.

I tried with Zone and it is working. But is there any other way of achieving that.

Directly is there any option in Wait for Event activity to release one token at a time if we don't have any criteria to match. Attached is the model for reference.

WaitForEvent.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.1.1

@Sudheer R

This is the way the Wait for Event works if you don't have any match criteria.

In order to process one token at at a time you could either use a Zone as you've shown or you could also use a Resource with its default parameters (Reference = Numeric, Count = 1) then put an Acquire and Release around the Wait for Event.

I hope this helps!
