# Automation Execution Metadata

The list displays all metadata captured on agent [automation executions](/v1/docs/automated-tests-executions).

- **Execution ID** This is an automatically assigned unique ID number for a triggered execution. Click on the execution ID to review the execution of planned runs.
- **Description** Panaya automatically generates the description of the automation event based on the context in which it was triggered. For example, it will display the location from which an on-demand automation run was initiated (Cycle, Folder, TestSet, etc.).
- **Triggered by**

The name of the Panaya user who triggered the execution [on demand](/v1/docs/on-demand-automated-test-execution).
- **State**

The state of the execution event - Not started, Completed, In progress, or Aborted.
- **Run results**

The execution event results are based on the run statuses - Not Run, Failed, or Passed. If one or more runs have failed, the execution event result will appear as Failed.
- **Total Runs**

The number of planned runs included in the event.
- **Not Run**
- The number of triggered runs currently waiting for agent availability for execution.
- **Running**

The number of runs that are currently being executed.
- **Partially Passed** The number of executions where some runs passed, and some had to be skipped.
- **Skipped**

The number of skipped runs. Skipping reasons vary. Here are a few common examples -
  - The test is not [ready to test](/v1/docs/when-are-steps-ready-to-test).
  - The test has no script.
  - Data sets issues (e.g., no data for the input parameters)
  - A user requested to abort the execution.
  - The test has been deleted.
  - The test expired since no agent or agent matching the test’s [tags](/v1/docs/agent-tags) was found.
- **Failed**

The number of failed runs.
- **Passed**

The number of successful runs.
- **Status Breakdown**

A visual representation of the runs and their current statuses.
- **Triggered On**

The date and time when the execution was triggered initially.
- **Start Time**

The date and time when the first run of the execution event began.
- **End Time**

The date and time the last run of the execution event ended.
- **Trigger**

This column provides information about the execution event's trigger. An execution event can be triggered from the **Test List**, **Test Tree**, a **Planned Run**, or the **Rerun** button in the Automated Executions view.
- **Total Tests** The total number of tests associated with this execution event.
