Queue Visualization
In Simul8 you can display the specified Label value of each Work Item in a Queue at a glance.
In the Label Block options, you must choose a Label for which you want to see. Enter the high and low values, and choose colors to represent these values. Any values in between will represent a gradient.
You also have control over the size of Queue's appearance, as well as the style.
To access this option, select a Queue on screen, navigate to the Graphics Tab, and choose 'Label Block' from the Display dropdown.
