# Update an automation attribute

# Update an automation attribute {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Update an automation attribute to include the automation source and time savings
information. This information is available in the Automation Center Value
dashboard for analysis.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_ac.automation_business_user, sn_ac.automation_technical_user, or
sn_ac.automation_admin.

## About this task

When you create an automation request from Automation Center, you
already provide the cost-saved and time-saved values. That information is displayed
in the Automation Center Value dashboard. If required, you can update
the values.

When data is sent from ServiceNow RPA and flows or any
third-party vendor, the cost-saved and time-saved fields must be updated
manually.

## Procedure

2. Select the list icon (![List icon.]()).
3. On the Lists tab, under Administration, select Automation Attributes.
4. Select an automation attribute that you want to update, and then select Edit.
5. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   Note:  
   Only Cost saved per run and Time saved per run fields can be updated. The other fields are auto-generated.
