How to display the Global table in Dashboard?

[ FlexSim 18.2.3 ]

Each item enters the processor with a label .Label values corresponding to each process are recorded in the global table and updated in real time.

Each row of the global table corresponds to the "Weight" Label value of Item in each process, and each column corresponds to the Item.

Now I wanta Dashboard that displays charts of the label values on flow item that change over time.

How to display the global tabel through Dashboard?

I need to customize a chart to realize it.

But with custom charts, version 18 involves using a Statistic collector.

If you use a Statistic collector, how to record the label value on an Item?

What I want to display is the label value of the Item in Dashboard in real time.

First, add a new Statistics Collector. Second, listen to the on entry event of processor. Third, add three columns that represent three weight of different steps .

@Shiny Xu

You are so nice to to help me .There are something different between the global Tabel and staitistic collector.

As a result the 3 dashboard (step1、step2、step3)are the same.Maybe It could be better to change something wrong.

@Shiny Xu

Thanks a lot!

The tips you offer show them in different chart.

I wonder if the Dashboard could show label value-"Weight" of flow item in only one chart .

The chart could reflect the change of "Weight" as the time change so that we could find out the time when some special "Weight "——too high or too low appear at the model.

Sorry to bother you again.

Thank you ! And I understand your meaning .

I could use track variable chart to record the lable value.

But I don't know how to add track variable.I can't find it in the Toolbox in my model.

However there is no "track variable" in my BoxTool even though I added it in Tools Menu...
