# Turn Flow Statistics On

## Overview

Decisions automatically record base statistics from the Portal settings; this configuration can be set by [Turning on Portal Statistics](https://documentation.decisions.com/turning-on-portal-statistics). In addition to collecting base statistics, individual Flows can also record statistics; this feature can be used to record specific data about an application built in Decisions. For example, a user may want to record statistics on which users are submitting approval requests. The following tutorial will show users how to record custom statistics within a Flow.

## Example

1. In a Flow, navigate to the **Properties** panel, and expand ADVANCED.
2. Check the Boolean **CaptureStatistics** and notice the appearance of **CategoryName** and **SubCategoryName** text boxes. When the Boolean is checked, the setting has been turned on, and the Flow will now capture statistics.
3. Enter text into the **Statistics > CategoryName** and **SubCategoryName** text boxes.

4. After this setting is configured and users test the Flow, the statistics data is stored in the database table **Execution_Statistics**. The properties below are examples of the data that is stored in this particular database:

| Execution Statistics Properties |
| --- |
| ID |
| Category |
| Sub Category |
| Parameter 1 |
| Parameter 2 |
| Parameter 3 |
| Parameter 4 |
| Parameter 5 |
| Outcome Name |
| Execution Time |
| Reference ID |
| Reference Name |
| Reference Type |
| Result |
| Execution Data Time |
| Execution By User |
5. In this example, a few Flows have the **Flow Statistic** setting enabled. Every time these Flows are run, statistic data is captured and stored in the **Execution_Statistics** database as seen below. This example was created using the [Query Editor](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/query-editor) in the Decisions Portal.
