Coding in flexscript

[ FlexSim 24.0.2 ]

I have some questions about flexscript coding, how can I execute these steps using flexscript?

1. Modify the parameters of exponential distribution in the source property.

2. Add a dashboard that expresses staytime in the form of a table, and add objects Queue and ASRSvehicle.

3. A piece of code to clear dachbord. I hope that every time the program is executed, the old dashboard will be deleted and rebuilt instead of adding new dashboards all the time.

Thanks for your help.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

I really appreciate it.

1) Either set the source to use parameters instead of fixed values and then change those parameters. Or edit the text of the code node ("macth" and "replace" methods of the string class).

2) "applicationcommand("adddashboard")" to add a new dashboard. For the rest see the link.

3) Just delete the subnodes of the "Dashboards" and "Statistics" in the Tools folder.

I tried following the reference link:

Object dashview=views().find("active>Documents/Dashboard/1+/~");
Object chartview=views().find("viewslibrary/Dashboard/Output/ThroughputTable");
Object chart=function_s(dashview,"createGraphWindow",chartview,1);
Group group = getvarnode(chart,"replacements").subnodes["Objects"].value;
group.addMember(Model.find("Queue"));

but no success, and get an error on Line 4.

Can you help me modify it?

Thanks a lot.

The location of the chart definitions changed. You just have to adjust line 2.

Object chartview=maintree().find("project/exec/globals/ChartTemplateDefinitions/Output/ThroughputBar");

Check the path shown above to find the names of other chart types.

Thanks, it executed it successfully.

I have another question. Currently, it displays Throuput information. How can I change it to calculate WIP?

Or another way, I have manually added the dashboard, I only need to add the object to be tracked through script.

The code may like?

//Point to an existing dashboard
Object Staytime = maintree().find("Tools/Statistics/Staytime");

//Add Objects "Queue"
.addMember(Model.find("Queue"));

Is this method feasible?

If you want to add other chart types you can look up the path in the main tree to see what charts are available and what their name is.

To add an object to an existing chart you'd start at line 3 of the code by providing the reference to the chart template.

Object chart = Model.find("Tools/ChartTemplates/Staytime");
Group group = getvarnode(chart,"replacements").subnodes["Objects"].value;
group.addMember(Model.find("Queue"));
