## Overview

In the first section of the form, the **Overview**, you can **Name your Idea**, add an **Automation ID**, a description of the process in the **Description** field, and use the Business Area dropdown list from **Category** to better categorize your idea.

You can do it by selecting an already existing category from the drop-down list. If you cannot find a suitable category, select **None of these apply** and define a relevant category. This can contain up to **100 characters**.

* the new category entry you defined is displayed under the **Other** filters that can be applied for **Categories** when searching for a specific idea in **Workspace**.
* the new category entry you defined is not displayed as an option for further idea submissions.
* all the new category entries manually created while submitting ideas **are not** saved in **Admin Console > Categories**. This is to keep the inventory of categories clean.
* all the new category entries manually created while submitting ideas are found by accessing the **Other** filter option.
  :::note
  * In the **Name your idea** field you are allowed to enter alphanumerical characters and the following special characters: dash (-), exclamation mark
  (!), hash sign (#), comma (,), underscore (_) and a limit of 100 characters.
  * A **Potential Duplicate** message is displayed if the title and the automation category you added for your ideas are similar to other ideas. Before
  going forward please check the profile of the idea displayed as duplicate. The below options are available:
  * My idea is a duplicate: mark your idea as duplicate and suspend the submission process.
  * Continue with my idea: continue the submission process.

## Detailed Assessment

In the **Detailed Assessment** section, you can reply to a set of questions specific to your idea that will help the system compute a general idea score, as well as two scores regarding the suitability of your automation idea and how ready the task or process is to be automated.

The sections from this form are mandatory, except for the **Average Employee Full Cost/year**, **Error Rate**, and **Review/Audit** related questions.
