# Automating the Workday

Remove the manual burden from your employees by letting We360.ai automatically manage punch-ins, breaks, and punch-outs based on configured shift schedules.

## Key Automation Features

{% columns %}
{% column %}

#### Auto Clock-In / Clock-Out

Configure shifts so the agent automatically starts and stops tracking at defined times, without requiring the user to manually interact with the app.
{% endcolumn %}

{% column %}

#### Idle Detection & Auto-Break

When no keyboard or mouse activity is detected beyond a threshold (e.g., 5 minutes), the system automatically marks the period as a break, keeping timesheets accurate.
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

## How To Configure

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Define a Shift

Go to **Settings → Workplace → Shifts**. Create a new shift with a name, working hours (start/end time), and working days.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Assign the Shift to a Team

Navigate to **Settings → User Management → Teams** and assign the shift to the relevant team. All members of that team will inherit the schedule.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enable Shift Enforcement (Stealth Mode)

If using Stealth Mode, enable **Shift Enforcement** so the agent automatically activates only during shift hours and pauses outside of them.

{% hint style="info" %}
Shift enforcement is the recommended approach to ensure employee privacy is respected outside of work hours.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
