Transfer Out
Determines whether a resource (Seize Resource), transporter (Request
Transporter), or conveyor (Access Conveyor) is required prior to
transferring the entity out of this module.
Priority
Indicates the priority of the module when either seizing a resource or
requesting a transporter when there are entities waiting for that
resource/transporter from other modules. This field is not visible when
the Transfer Type is None or Access Conveyor.
Transporter Name
Name of the transporter to request.
Queue Type
Type of queue, either a single Queue, queue Set, Internal queue,
Attribute, or Expression.
Queue Name
Name of the individual queue.
Queue Set Name
Name of the queue set.
Set Index
Defines the index into the queue set. Note that this is the index into the
set and not the name of the queue in the set.
Queue Attribute Name
The attribute name that will be evaluated to indicate which queue is to
be used.
Queue Expression
The expression that will be evaluated to indicate which queue is to be
used.
Selection Rule
Method of selecting among available transporters in a set. Cyclical will
cycle through available members. Random will randomly select a
member. Preferred Order will always select the first available member.
Specific Member requires an input attribute value to specify which
member of the set (previously saved in the Save Attribute field).
Largest Distance selects the transporter farthest away, and Smallest
Distance selects the closest transporter.
Save Attribute
Attribute name used to store the index number into the set of the
member that is chosen. This attribute can later be referenced with the
Specific Member selection rule. Active when Transfer Out is Request
Transporter.
Index Set
Attribute name whose value identifies the index number into the set of
the member requested. The entity must have a value for the attribute
before utilizing this option.
Resource Type

selecting from a pool of resources (i.e., a resource Set), Attribute, or
Expression.
