How can I unbatch tokens in a process flow & read array label?

[ FlexSim 17.2.5 ]

To give some context, I batched some tokens in a previous process flow and I turned some labels to Arrays, then I took this batched token and created a 3D object. I moved the 3D object to my next object. This next object also has a process flow and I want to basically unload or unbatch the token and get the correct labels back that I made into an array. How can I do this?

@Sahar A

Can you send in your model or a sample model so that we can see exactly what needs to be done? That would be very helpful.

Thanks.

@Sahar A you can use a "run sub flow" activity. For the "Quantity" field you have an option called: "Array Size" to create tokens for each value in the array. To get the particular value from that array on your token, you give it a label and there you use the option Array -> value from label array. You can use the statement "creationRank" to get an index into the rank of the token created in this activity. Don't forget to uncheck label access on parent only so that you can check the "Copy Labels to Children on Create" on and have all info on all tokens. Within the subflow you now have individual tokes that represent the data on the array.

@Sahar A, did this answer your question?
