# activatesAutomatically

A flag that indicates whether the coaching view activates automatically, depending on the current session state.

## Declaration

```swift
var activatesAutomatically: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value is true. If enabled, the coaching overlay sets isActive automatically, depending on whether it needs user intervention to meet the current goal. The coaching overlay activates when the session is initializing or when tracking conditions have degraded past a certain threshold.
