Cannot acquire a resource to load a component

[ FlexSim 20.2.3 ]

Attached is a very simple model that has me stumped on why it won't load a resource.

I created this to test being able to check on why I can't get a 'state' of the operator on how busy he is. I'm having trouble getting any statistics on 'busy' for a group of operators that I acquire ....but now I can't get this little model to work.

I don't use the 'acquire' and usually just use a dispatcher but I'm trying to use process flow more.

The issue is that you're not pulling form the list which is the previous activity to Acquiring the resource.

You have "send to Widget" on the Source and on the Queue - I think you should have it on the Queue only.

Also in the process flow you're not referring to the Global List to which the Queue is sending items, in the Widget list - it is set to internal. Change that to use the Global list.
