# Dataset Automations

> Automate workflows with project automations.

Automations are **actions that run automatically on all datasets added to a project**.

### What can you automate?

* ⋈ Automatically import columns from another dataset.
* ⚡ Automatically [run evals](/datasets/run-eval).
* ▶︎ Automatically run [dynamic columns](/datasets/dynamic-columns).
* ⛓️ Automatically run [flows](/flows/overview).

### When do automations run?

Automations will run when:

* A dataset is moved to a project that has configured automations.
* A dataset is created and assigned to a project that has configured automations.

### How do you configure automations?

Automations live at the project level.

To configure automations, create a project from the Dataset List page and then click on the "Automations" button at the top right corner of the project.

A sidebar will appear on the right with the automations you can configure.

### Automation Steps

<Info>
  **Order Matters**: Arrange steps logically - for example, import necessary
  columns before running evals that depend on them
</Info>

#### Import Columns

Import specific columns from another dataset into your target dataset

* Configure join conditions to match data between datasets
* Select which columns you want to import

#### Run Evals

Automatically execute configured evaluations on new datasets

* Select a dataset where you have previously run these evaluations.
* The evaluation configuration will be copied from that dataset, and executed when a new dataset is added to the project.

#### Dynamic Columns

Automatically run dynamic columns on new datasets

* Select a dataset where you have previously run dynamic columns.
* The dynamic column configuration will be copied from that dataset, and executed when a new dataset is added to the project.
