# Set a cadence's meeting type

Mark a cadence as a 1:1, stand up, QBR or other meeting type, so Brev structures its recap and goal matching.

A cadence's type shapes its recap and decides whether its meetings are matched to goals. A new cadence starts with no type.

**Who can do this:** a role with Manage cadences (Owners and Admins by default). Anyone else gets an error message. See [Roles and permissions](https://help.brev.io/roles-and-permissions/#matrix).

To set the type:

1. Go to [Cadences](https://help.brev.io/cadences-list/).
2. On the cadence's row, click its type chip (not shown on phones). A cadence without a type shows **Add type**. The same chip is on each of its meeting pages.
3. Pick a type. To clear it, pick 'None'.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> Brev shows 'Cadence type updated', and the chip shows the new type with its icon.

## The types {#types}

- Leadership Review, Department Review, Team Review, OKR Review
- 1:1, Stand Up, All Hands, Retrospective, Cross Functional, Planning
- MBR, WBR, QBR

## Accept a suggested type {#suggested}

Brev may suggest a type for a new cadence from its title, schedule and attendee count. It never applies one itself. To review a suggestion:

1. Click the cadence's type chip. **Suggested type** sits at the top of the menu.
2. Click the suggestion (for example **Use 1:1**) to accept it, or **Dismiss suggestion** to clear it.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> An accepted suggestion shows on the chip. A dismissed one leaves the menu.

## Types and goal matching {#goal-matching}

Admins choose which types are matched to goals in [Goal alignment](https://help.brev.io/settings-ai-meeting-agent/#goal-alignment). Every type is matched except 1:1 by default.

A meeting with no type counts as a 1:1 when its invite has one or two attendees. So by default it isn't matched to goals.
