# Detailed Configuration

> Edit Employee form: identity, work instructions, Work Mode, Work Cycle, and Advanced settings

## Overview

There is no separate “detailed configuration” page. Everything lives in the same **Hire / Edit Employee** form used when you choose **Hire → Open position** or click **Edit** on an employee drawer.

Open it from:

* **Hire → Open position** (create)
* Employee drawer → **Edit** (update)
* Review flows that open the same form for approve/dismiss

## Identity

* **Avatar** — upload or pick an image
* **Name** — how the employee appears on the mesh
* **Voice** — voice used for calls when voice is enabled
* **Goal (optional)** — one short text field: what this employee should achieve

## Work instructions

The main operating guide. You can:

* Write or paste instructions
* Use **Improve with AI** when available
* **Add Document** to link knowledge into the instructions
* Select **Connectors** chips when shown

## Work Mode

Choose how tightly a human must stay in the loop:

* **Supervised** — plans and sensitive actions tend to wait for you
* **Autonomous** — more room to proceed without stopping

Also set how **connector actions** behave (automatic vs ask for approval).

## Work Cycle

Defines automatic wake-ups (Time / Day / Week / Month / Interval / None). See [Work Cycle](/en/cowork/digital-employees/configuracao-de-cron/cron-heartbeat).

## Advanced settings

Expand **Advanced settings** for:

| Area                            | What you set                                                 |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Personality (MBTI)**          | Optional personality type                                    |
| **Timezone**                    | Timezone for the Work Cycle                                  |
| **Knowledge base**              | Documents available to the employee                          |
| **Memory sync**                 | Whether memory sync is on                                    |
| **Execution mode**              | **Single Agent** or **Multi Agent**                          |
| **Model**                       | Model used for runs                                          |
| **Search intelligence / tools** | Optional tools and search behavior                           |
| **Resources**                   | **Credits/day**, **Credits/month**, max consecutive failures |

Credits limits apply to this employee’s usage. When a daily or monthly limit is hit, further runs are blocked until the window resets (and the employee may pause, depending on policy). Workspace credit balance is separate — an employee over its own limit is still blocked even if the workspace has credits left.

## Saving

* Create: **Hire**
* Edit: **Save changes**
* Review hire: **Approve & save** / dismiss as shown
