# Configuring automation summary execution

Configure the execution summary of automation to specify how automation data is aggregated and presented on the Automation Center dashboard.

You can import and configure data from various sources, such as RPA, ServiceNow flows, Document Intelligence \(DocIntel\), and others to view in the Automation Center dashboard.

Earlier, for data of different data sources different types of summarization was required. It was time-consuming. However, now there’s a generic way to make updates to automation summary execution for data from different sources.

-   **[Create automation source type](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/automation-center/create-source-type.md)**  
Define the kind of source type that you want to import and use in Automation Center.
-   **[Create automation source](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/automation-center/create-source.md)**  
Associate a data source for the selected source type.
-   **[Configure execution summary](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/automation-center/create-exe-sum-config.md)**  
Configure the execution summary with the appropriate conditions.
-   **[Create execution state mapping](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/automation-center/create-exe-state-mapping.md)**  
Define the mapping for the source and target tables for the configuration to work as expected.
