The dashboard Overview – Automation can be used to find automation opportunities in the process. For the selected attribute the Automation rate is displayed for the current and the previous period. The dashboard also displays information about the costs involved in the execution of an event which indicates the benefit of automating the event. See illustration below.
In stead of the Automation rate, you can select the Manual event cost, or the Manual processing time as the main metric to be displayed on the dashboard. See illustration below.
