rack obj.subnodes.length is the content of items in all slots. If you want to count items on slotItems similar to a container, parcel and product structure you need to iterate through all slotItems.

You need an event happening every day then use a user event from toolbox.

Then you can build an own statistic collector for your purpose.

@kitkat87 if you write in your user event the length of subnodes as value of a rack into a tracked variable as a level then you can attach a level chart into dashboard easily.

Use the Storage.system.queryItems() method passing in a query that optionally groups by rack objects, bays slots, however you want to cut it.

If you virtualize the items the rack will not have subnodes, so this is the more general method.

To get the 7am event you can use a user event or a statistics collector that repeats at a daily interval.
