Model works depending on which process flow is opened

When you run the attached model while the Person Flow is open, it runs fine. When you open the Arrivals process flow or the Open_Close Desks flow and run the model, it doesn't run. This is also means that running the model with the experimenter doesn't work. Anybody an idea?

This looks like a bug with resources in a flow with no instances attached at reset. I'll add it to the dev list.

However, since you're using people Location objects you should just use a Location Resource and Acquire Location activities.

@Matthew Gillespie Thanks for the reply, although there are a number of reasons why you would use a normal resource:

  • Access to fields
  • Seeing what the values of the fields are
  • Logical and supported location for queries
  • Be able to use the back order reevaluation
  • And when you release a resource it is actually released

(And I didn't make the model, it was a forum post that I supported ;-)

@steven.hamoen You can do all those things with a Location Resource. Just bring up the properties of the Locations global list. You can add fields, view their values, and add back order reevaluation events.
