# Start the analysis job

Start the analysis job for an Automation project to begin generating automation opportunities and insights.

## Before you begin

Role required: LEAP admin \(`sn_itom_leap.leap_admin`\)

## About this task

After creating an Automation project, you must start the analysis job to activate the scheduled analysis and begin generating automation opportunities. The project configuration is locked once the job starts.

## Procedure

1.  Open the Automation Project in the **Automation Project Details** page.

2.  Select **Start analysis**.

    LEAP generates the required grouping skills and activates the scheduled analysis job in the back end. The job status transitions from *ready* to *running*. \[Omitted image "start-group-analysis.png"\] Alt text: Start group analysis for new automation project
