Starting content in the Queue

Hello everyone,

it is possible to set starting content in the queue? For example if I woluld like to start simulate process from setting value of content in queue. I wolud like to write my real values (which I have now in my production line) in queues. It is possible?

THANK YOU!

Bartosz,

In the OnReset Trigger select the sendmessage pick list option. Set the 1st message parameter to the number of flowitems you want to create and the 2nd message parameter to the rank of the flowitem. You can get the rank by looking in the Flowitem bin. Then set the OnMessage trigger to the create flowitems pick list option.

This will create the items in the Queue at time zero.

Here is a tutorial on how to do this:

Thank You vey much! Work for me, but I have one more question, how to set itemtype in the Queue on starting position because I have 9 others itemtypes and for all of them I have dedicated 9 Queues. So now when I did send massage on the reset in every Queue I got in all 9 Queues the same Itemtype. I hope that You understand me :-). I would like to set dedicated itemtpye to every Queue.

THANK YOU for your helping me :-)

Bartosz,

You need to add one line of code to set the item type.
Insert the following line in the OnMessage trigger after the insertcopy() command in the for loop:
setitemtype(last(current),2);
This will set the item type to 2.
You can also do it the way, that you use msgparam(3) to set the itemtype. Define it OnReset as msgparam(3) and change the line to:
setitemtype(last(current),msgparam(3));
I hope this is what you are looking for. Good success.

Bartosz,

Here is another video that will walk you through how to use the picklist options to do what you are asking about:
