# Runs Introduction

Source: https://userguide.qualytics.io/operations/runs/deep-dive/introduction/

Every operation in Qualytics leaves a **Run** behind, the record on the **Activity** page of what was executed, how it went, and what it produced. The pages ahead cover what a Run is for and the components it exposes, the states it moves through, the actions available on it, and the permissions behind them, starting with [How It Works](https://userguide.qualytics.io/operations/runs/deep-dive/how-it-works/).

## What You Will Find Here

- **How It Works**

  What a Run is for, what does not appear as a Run, and the contexts of the Activity tab.

- **Details**

  The Overview tab of the detail page, with the Run's key details, settings, summary metrics, logs, and timeline.
