To enable a Work Item to be controlled by a Label's value or to be able to collect data in a Label, the Label must be added to the Work Item. Simul8 automatically adds a Label to the main Work Item type but if you have more that one Work Item type then you must add the Label to them. text/html 2026-01-30T02:43:27+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:labels:delete&rev=1769762607&do=diff Deleting Labels Here's how you can delete Labels you don't need in your simulation: 1. Remove the Label from the Main Work Item Type Once running your simulation, each Label gets attached to the Main Work Item Type.

The value of the Label DOES NOT have to be changed by the Activity's Actions but the Label does need to be listed in the Actions dialog (the particular Label can be set to NO CHANGE if desired). text/html 2025-02-12T09:36:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:labels:labels&rev=1739374579&do=diff Labels Labels can be attached to any Work Item going through the simulation. For example you might attach a Label “Illness” to Work Item type “Patients” and set this Label to a code number as they enter your simulation of a hospital. Each code number would represent a type of illness and could be used to route the patients though the different text/html 2025-02-12T09:36:20+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:labels:limit_workitem_activity_example&rev=1739374580&do=diff Using Labels to determine the number of times a Work Item visits an Activity If a Work Item needs to go through the same Activity more than once, we could model this by adding each individual Activity in a linear process. For example if a patient needs 12 treatments (one per month for a year) before moving on we could add each individual treatment as an Activity. text/html 2025-02-12T09:36:20+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:labels:special&rev=1739374580&do=diff Special Labels Some Label names have a special meaning to Simul8. You should not use these names other than in the context for what they were intended. You can add any of these special Label to your simulation in the same way as a creating any other Label.

At the moment, all the Work Items traveling through our simulation are the same, i.e. they have no distinguishing attributes. [Simul8 Labels Tutorial] We want to distinguish between different types of Work Item, for example by marking each one as either Green or a Blue Car type.
