Automations dashboard
- Updated: 2025/11/20
Use automations dashboard to analyze recent executions, addressing failed automations, and planning capacity for future tasks to enhance efficiency, reliability, and scalability. It ensures operations run smoothly by understanding automation impacts and monitoring device usage.
Overview
The automations dashboard is a powerful tool designed to enhance operational efficiency by monitoring your public and private automations details. It suggests analyzing recent executions to identify patterns or issues, addressing failed automations with corrective actions, and planning for upcoming automations by allocating necessary resources. Additionally, it emphasizes enhancing efficiency and reliability, evaluating the impact of automations on overall operations, and monitoring device usage to ensure optimal performance and contribution to automation goals.
The various widgets provide information about automation schedules, statuses, run times, and details of automations that are currently running. You can use this data to look at recent executions, fix failed automations, plan future schedules, improve efficiency and reliability, grow automation programs, understand automation effects, make sure operations go smoothly, and check device usage.
The grouping feature in observability allows you to identify your most valuable automations, devices, and users based on actual automation run-hours. You can also categorize these run-hours by status, execution type, and license type.
- At the top of the page, click the Date Range selector. The default time selection is 24 hours.
- Select Custom from the drop-down menu.
- Set your Start date and time.
- Set your End date and time.
- Apply your selection to instantly see results for that time range. The
chosen time filter displays at the top of the page. For example, you can:
- Get automation run data from 1st September to 10th September.
- Review data on a monthly basis, such as September run data or October run data.
- Access data from one year ago.
- Look ahead 30 days into the future to get automation schedules for the next 30 days.
Each grouping option includes a detailed table view that can be sorted, filtered, and exported to a CSV file. After each export, an Export to CSV event is logged. This export feature enables you to track the hours spent on automation runs within a chosen time frame. You can organize the data by specific entities and visualize it using a histogram (most active automations, devices, and users) and pie chart (status, execution type, and license type). Automation run-hours are a key metric for measuring automation activity, which in turn contributes to calculating the return on investment (ROI).
