Default Flexsim 6.0 does not show state name

I have been using flexsim 5 for one year and recently upgraded to Flexsim 6. I am used to track the progress on the multiprocessor by checking the STATE which used to tell me the name of the process that is going on.. Now in Flexsim 6 all I see is idle and processing and I have no idea which process is going on..

Is it because the model was built in flexsim 5 and that is y it is not showing the name of process or has this feature been removed due to some unknown reason.

The multiprocessor uses the new state_profiles functionality to store multiple state profiles: one for the default states and a different profile for the individual processes.

Attached is a sample model that shows how you can use the Dashboard to view the various profiles on objects, including the processes on a multiprocessor.

The following thread has some more information about using state_profiles with other objects: https://www.flexsim.com/community/fo...ead.php?t=2256

Thanks for replying.. This is visually nice.. But the problem is it still does not tell which process is going on at the moment.. so until unless I change the color of the item after every process or use some labels.. there is no other way to see which process is going on at a particular multiprocessor...

You can use a visual tool to show text and place it in the model or add the text to the dashboard too.
