Custom Conditions for Merge Controller

Hello,

Is there a way to define other conditions in code or process flow, to control when and how slug conveyor releases item?

For example, let merge controller only release items when some processor is empty, and only release 1 item for each slug conveyor.

Yes, the Merge Controller has a Release Strategy trigger that you can write custom logic in to control how and when it releases slugs.

There is also a FlexScript API for custom Merge Controller logic.

Additionally, there is an object Process Flow called "Gap-Optimizing Merge Controller" that you can use as an example of how you can write your own custom merge controller logic instead of using the defaults.
