# PartyWorkMode

> Configuration modes representing how the Party library will manage an internal processing task.

Configuration modes representing how the Party library will manage an internal processing task.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
enum class PartyWorkMode    
{  
    Automatic = 0,  
    Manual = 1,  
}  
```

## Constants

| Constant  | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Automatic | The Party library will create internal threads to automatically handle the associated processing task.<br /><br /> This is the default, recommended option which encodes the Party library's best practices for processing its internal task.                                                 |
| Manual    | The Party library will not create internal threads to handle the associated processing task, instead relying on the title to perform the task through calls to [PartyManager::DoWork()](/services/playfab/multiplayer/networking/reference/classes/PartyManager/methods/partymanager_dowork). |

## Remarks

For an overview of the processing tasks and their frequencies, see [PartyThreadId](/services/playfab/multiplayer/networking/reference/enums/partythreadid).
