# Configure the process graph for sending automation ideas

> If **UiPath Process Mining** is set up for integration with **UiPath Automation Hub** the Process Graph must be configured to enable end-users to submit ideas for process improvements that are subject for automation directly from the Process Graph to **UiPath Automation Hub**.

## Introduction

If **UiPath Process Mining** is set up for integration with **UiPath Automation Hub** the Process Graph must be configured to enable end-users to submit ideas for process improvements that are subject for automation directly from the Process Graph to **UiPath Automation Hub**.

:::important
The fields used for sending automation ideas to **UiPath Automation Hub** are in the **UiPath Automation Hub** default assessment questions. In the Automation Hub Detailed Assessment the default questions are customizable and if these questions are modified, en-users will see different fields in the **Send to Automation Hub** dialog. Please note that in this case Sending Automation Ideas may not work properly and end-users may encounter error messages. Refer to the **Automation Hub** documentation for more information. See [Customizing the Detailed Assessment](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/docs/customizing-the-idea-assessments).

### Attributes

Below is an overview of the attributes that are used to calculate the automation potential and the benefits in **UiPath Automation Hub**. For Mandatory fields, ensure they are not NULL.

| Attribute | Description | Mandatory |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Processing time | The amount of time a person is actually working for an event. See [Process Graphs](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/standalone/2021.10/user-guide/process-graphs#timestamps). | Yes |
| Event cost | The manual costs of executing an event. | No |
| User | The users involved in the process. | Yes |

:::note
Be aware that the processing time is not the same as throughput time. It is strongly recommended to use the `Event processing time` attribute from your dataset for the **Processing time** as this reflects the time that is actually worked on the event without taking into account any waiting time. This will led to a more valuable calculation of how much time can be saved with automation. See [Adding Automation Estimates](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/standalone/2021.10/user-guide/adding-automation-estimates#adding-automation-estimates) and [Output tables of the Basic Connector](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/standalone/2021.10/user-guide/output-tables-of-the-basic-connector) for more information.

## Configure the process graph for sending automation ideas

Follow these steps to configure the Process Graph for sending automation opportunities.

| Step | Action |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | Open the app in your development environment. |
| 2 | Select the Process Graph for which you want to set up sending automation ideas to **UiPath Automation Hub**. |
| 3 | Go to the **Process Graph** tab and click on **ADVANCED...** in the **General** panel.  The **Advanced Process Graph Settings** dialog is displayed. |
| 4 | Go to the **Automation** tab.  The **Mandatory details** section contains fields that must be completed. See illustration below. |
| 5 | Click on *none* next to **Processing time** and select an appropriate attribute or expression from the drop-down list. |
| 6 | Repeat step **5** for **Event cost** and **User**. |
| 7 | Click on **OK**. |

The **Send to Automation Hub** icon will now be available on the Process Graph which enables end-users to send automation opportunities to **UiPath Automation Hub**.

### Sending atomation ideas from AppOne

Below is an overview of the table items in **AppOne** that are used for sending automation ideas to **UiPath Automation Hub**. To enable end-users to send automation ideas to **UiPath Automation Hub** from **AppOne**, it is mandatory to fill these attributes.

| Field | Expression/Attribute |
| --- | --- |
| Processing time | `Manual processing time` |
| Event cost | `Manual event cost` |
| User | `User` |

:::important
To enable end-users to send ideas for automation from **AppOne** to **UiPath Automation Hub**:
* the values of `Manual processing time` and `User` should be filled in, and cannot be equal to 0.
* the value of `Manual event cost` can be equal to 0, which implies that it is an optional field.
