# Configure Person Analysis

This section describes how to run person analysis.

TIP: You must first detect people by running face detection or object class recognition with the pre-trained person recognizer.

To configure person analysis

1. Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the `process` action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

2. In the `[Session]` section, add a new analysis task by setting the `EngineN` parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

       [Session]
       Engine0=Ingest
       Engine1=FaceDetect
       Engine2=PersonAnalysis

3. Create a new configuration section to contain the task settings and set the following parameters:

   `Type` | The analysis engine to use. Set this parameter to `PersonAnalysis`.
   Input | The track to analyze. This track must contain records that identify people. You can use the output from face detection (or another face analysis task such as face recognition) or the output from an object class recognition task that uses the pre-trained person recognizer.
   ClassificationTypes | A comma-separated list of strings that specify which classifications to perform.
   NumParallel | The maximum number of video frames to analyze simultaneously.

   For example:

       [PersonAnalysis]
       Type=PersonAnalysis
       Input=FaceDetect.DataWithSource
       ClassificationTypes=clothing,hatandhair
       NumParallel=4

4. Save and close the configuration file. OpenText recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter.
