How can I configure the event tiggered -source?

Hi @anthony.johnson, @Braydn T,@ zachary.h, @Seung Yong Seo,@Emily Hardy,@Jörg Vogel,@Jordan Johnson,@Joshua S.@Matthew Gillespie,@Emily Hardy,@Seung Yong Seo

How can I create an event with a list that contains 3 queues, I need that every time that a pallet enters in one of these queues, an operator goes to this queue with a task Executer to load a pallet and unload in the indicated separator; Example: pallet Queue1 lead to combinator1, pallet Queue2 lead to combinator2 and pallet Queue3 lead to combinator3.

Thanks for your help

@Natalia G6 This is quite easy. Put all 3 queues in a group and on the event triggered source select the group as event object. And in the "Assign event object to" you write a label like "token.TheQueue" that gives you the queue that actually triggered the event.

Or you can use a Fixed Resource/Object Process flow and add each queue as members and then use current to refer to the queue.

Hi @steven.hamoen, I followed your instructions but I continue with the problem, I have a mistake in the travel option. I want to know if I configure the event tiggered source in the correct way, what can I do it to resolve this?

Thanks

@Natalia G6 Here is your model improved. Basically you had to put the right labels at the right place and your resource had to be the taskexecuter and not something numerical

@Natalia G6 There is no event that does what you want, but I simply added a run sub flow to unload all the boxes. But after the first pallet it goes wrong because you also have to make the seperator as resources that you select to get a free one because now everything goes to 1 even it has no capacity.

But ofcourse you could also just 2 queues behind the seperator and use the special sendtoport option of the separator. Then you will have 2 queues, 1 with a pallet and 1 with all the products. And then you can listen on the 2 entries of the queues and control it form there.
