# Automation

The **Automation** tab is the dedicated command center for every **automated** workflow in a project.

Automation provide the following three advantages:

<table><thead><tr><th width="145.8570556640625">Benefit</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Clarity</strong></td><td>We can see if processes are scheduled to run.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Control</strong></td><td>Centralized scheduling, status, and log access let you fine-tune performance without jumping between pages.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Auditability</strong></td><td>Metrics such as <em>Last Run, Next Run, Data Processed</em>, and <em>Status</em> are scoped to bot tasks, making it easy to demonstrate SLA compliance.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Access Automation

1. Navigate to **Projects** from the Home page.
2. Click a project name to open its workspace. The system directs you to the **Automation** tab.

| Permissions note: Only users with the *Project Owner*, *Admin*, or *Integrator* role can create, edit, or delete automation tasks. All other roles have read-only access. |

### Page Layout

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Project-Level Dashboard (collapsible)

* **Task Summary:** Mirrors the metrics from the main Project page *Active Tasks*, *Total Runs*, *Successful Runs*, and *Errored Runs*, but **filters them to bot tasks only**.
* **Records Moved:** Use the same four time-filters (**Yesterday**, **Last 7 Days**, **Last 30 Days**, **Last 12 Months**) to check the performance trend.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Automation Table

* A sortable, searchable grid listing every bot task. To sort the Automation tasks, click the **Name** <img src="/files/cfdb54b8f414328ca2e1c64ec0eff57ac3a8b27f" alt="" data-size="line">column header.
* Action buttons above the grid: **Create**, **Import**, **Search**, and column visibility settings.
  {% endstep %}
