# Auto-Clear Alarms
## Managing Alarms with "Auto-Clear Alarms" Setting
To configure auto-clear alarm settings for a specific Motion Tile, you will need to navigate to a Motion Tile and select the configuration view to apply auto-clear settings. Note, that the Motion tile does not need to be in an alarm state to apply these settings. You will have the option to apply these settings right when the Motion Tile is created.
### **Step 1:** Navigate to "Configure Tile"
There are several ways to access the "Configure Tile" view for any given Motion Tile.
1. Controls > "Tile" view
2. Mosaic Dashboard
#### Tile View
The tile view is accessible under the Controls view. This view shows a list of all Motion Tiles that have been added to the platform.

Click from the dropdown menu and choose one of the following options.
1. **Never:** Alarm will not clear until user manually "clears" it. Alarm timestamp will be logged in Alarms view.
2. **Only When Acknowledged:** Alarm will not clear until the user "acknowledges" or "clears" the alarm. Alarm timestamp will be logged in Alarms view.
3. **Always:** Alarm will automatically clear when the alarm condition is no longer satisfied. Alarm timestamp will still be logged in Alarms view. View the example provided here:
{% hint style="info" %}
*EXAMPLE: A high warning alarm condition for room temperature is set for at or above 75 degrees. If the room temperature reaches 75 degrees, the Motion Tile has entered an alarm state and the user will be notified. If the temperature then drops below 75 degrees, the Motion Tile will automatically clear the alarm without the user needing to manually clear it.*
{% endhint %}
