This is an advanced and versatile mode, where you link the Entry to a schedule table. In the schedule table you can add arrival events, one item for each row. The table contains arrival time, and other information that can be carried on the item produced in that row at that time. As each item is produced, its row is deleted from the table, and the next row will occur at its scheduled time. The table can be edited by a modeller, or it may be constructed using code in a routine.

After creating a table driven entry it needs to be linked to a specific table using the Schedule Table option.

The Schedule Table only requires a column titled "_time" for the entry to function correctly. At the specified time an item will be generated at the entry.

Other columns in the table are tupled to the item on creation.

After the item has been created the row will be deleted from the Schedule Table.

Required Columns
