# Automation

## Overview

The Automation category provides record-level widgets that help users trigger predefined workflow logic directly inside Labii ELN and LIMS records. These widgets are designed for operational scenarios where a user needs to launch approved automation in context rather than manually performing every downstream step. Whether the goal is creating derivative records, starting a standardized processing routine, or initiating a repeatable system action from a sample or request, these tools keep automation close to the record where the work begins. Together, they reduce context switching and make routine process execution faster, more consistent, and easier to monitor.
