This link provides a tutorial to have an operator load and unload multiple boxes using lists in process flow. Is this what you're looking for?

Hi @Parker S , I have a last question, how can I configure the operator to load between 2 or 3 boxes, for example if in the quee at the end are 2 boxes how I tell to operator to load this last boxes that remain in the queue and are less than 3.

Thanks

Changing the "Require" value in the Pull from List properties from 3 to 2 would allow the operator to pick the 2 remaining boxes.

Additionally, you could change the value to 1 in the case that there might be 1 left in the queue. Request and Require values are similar to maximum and minimum values. If there are 3 items available to pull, they will get pulled. If there are less items, they will get pulled if it is more or equal to the Require value.
