First of all, if your patient flows have any overlap I would recommend just using one flow and using decide activities to route the token to the correct activities for that "track".

The way you assign a patient to a specific flow is with the Patient Flow field of the Create Person activity:

You have a lot of options of how to use this:

1. If you have separate arrival rates for the different patient tracks you could have two different Create Person activities that each point at a different patient flow. Something like this:

2. If you assign a Track pointer label to the arriving tokens you can then sample the flow you want in the Toolbox and assign each row a specific track:

You'd then just need to put token.Track in the Patient Flow field:

3. You could also do the same thing, but with a string label and just type in the name of the flow, but then in the the Patient Flow field you'd put:

Model.find("Tools/ProcessFlow/" + token.Track)

4. You could even just assign a number as the Track label and us the By Case pickoption to turn the number into a specific flow:
