# Starring Data

## Overview

When reviewing automation runs in Kognitos, you may want to scan for specific data points important to a process, such as an invoice number, payment status, or user ID. **Starring Data** allows you to pin key data elements so they stand out across process runs and are easier to track.

### When to Star Data

Use this feature to:

* Track important identifiers or values across executions
* Troubleshoot a process by monitoring specific data points
* Quickly scan and compare outputs across multiple runs

## How to Star Data

To star data of interest in a process:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open a Process**

Navigate to **Processes** in the left sidebar and select a process.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Access a Process Run**

To view a previous run, click on <kbd>View Runs</kbd> in the upper-left and choose a run from the list.\
To start a new run, click on <kbd>Run</kbd> in the upper-right.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select Data**

Click on the name of a data element in your process.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Star Data**

In the **Information** panel on the right, click the star icon (⭐️) next to the data element. The star will turn yellow to indicate the value is starred.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: There are no limits to the number of data values that can be starred.
{% endhint %}

## Viewing Data Stars

After you’ve starred one or more data elements, you can view them in the list view of a process’s runs. This is visible to anyone with access to the agent.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open a Process**

Navigate to **Processes** in the left sidebar and select a process.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**View Runs**

Click on <kbd>View Runs</kbd> in the upper-left to see a list of your process's runs.

You'll see a column for each starred data value in this list view.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Updating Stars

You can modify starred data at any time by removing existing stars or starring new values. Changes to starred data are visible to all users with agent access.

#### Removing Stars

Hover over a starred data value in the **Information** panel and click the yellow star (⭐️) icon next to it to unstar it. The value will no longer appear in the process runs list view.
