Every X unit should be send to different conveyor - process flow

[ FlexSim 21.2.4 ]

Hello,

I am struggling with logic - these last stations 2;3;4 (by picture) should be for special visual check, where every third unit should be sent. The rest of units should continue on line to station 1 (by picture attached).

I have only one process flow named ,,workstation", where the logic for sending pallet to these stations assign label to token.station.

I guess for sending every third unit from the line, I need to assign label by percentage, but where should I do it? Or is there any way how to send every third unit to these specific stations?

Thank you

Try it with a modulus operator.

hello @Joerg Vogel thank you very much. In the end I used decide by label item.type and another pull from list. And it works well thank you. Instead of every 5 th unit, I set 80% type 1 and 20% type 2
