Queue Options

Pause On Overflow (default Off)

Setting this option means that when the queue reaches its capacity, the model run will be paused, and the screen the queue resides on will be displayed. The item is left in the queue so it can be inspected (if capacity follows the queue the item will move when the model continues). This is sometimes useful for debugging. Single item queues with this option on can be used to catch unexpected conditions in a run and unlike the exit, they enable the problem item to be examined.

Show Overflow (default On)

This option displays the overflow box when the number of items in the queue exceeds the screen display length. The box displays the number of extra items not visible.

The full occupancy value of a queue is thus the sum of this overflow figure, and the number of visible items. If this Option is not selected, the number of Non-Visible items is not displayed.
