Retrieve push time from list

[ FlexSim 22.1.2 ]

Hi, I am pulling from a flowitem list in a process flow. Items are pushed into this list in the 3D model. I'm having trouble retrieving the push time from a token in the process flow later on, since "pushTime" is not a label.

hello @Enrique Elizaga ,

I think the fastest way to do it is to set up a label in the Item when you push it to the list so you can retrieve in the processFlow

Something like this example:

pushTime Example.fsm

@Julio R Is there a way to add that label directly as a push argument or expression? Items are pushed from many objects.

You can modify the code in the List label to add it to the item, that way it will always do it no matter where it has been pushed from:

You can add the list fields you want as labels to the SELECT of the pull query - then they get added to the puller automatically. Eg.:

SELECT age, pushTime WHERE age>30 ORDER BY age DESC

When that doesn't work check the list advanced setting to do this is still checked.
