1. Start by joining 4 items to create a process:

• Entry point
• Queue
• Activity
• End Point

2. Create a label called “UniqueNumber”

3. Add an action to the Entry Point. Set this label to a ‘Unique’ value.

4. Check that each work item is getting a unique value:

• Run the simulation for a few seconds
• Select the queue
• Select advanced > Contents
• Scroll through the work items on the left and confirm that each has a unique label value

5. Create an internal spreadsheet called “Results”.

6. Create an action that will record the time that each work items completes activity 1:

• Create an action and select option to ‘Change Anything’.
• Double-click to add the ‘Results’ spreadsheet
• Change the column reference ‘c’ to be 1
• Change the row reference ‘r’ to be the label by selecting ‘Object’ and then double-clicking on “UniqueNumber”.
• Back in the ‘Action’ window pick the option ‘Set to’.
• In the next window select the little box with the 3 dots to open the Formula Editor.
• Double-click to add ‘Simulation Time’

7. Run the simulation and then open the ‘Results’ spreadsheet. This has now recorded the completion of each work item at activity 1 (in minutes from the start of the simulation)
