{% hint style="warning" %}
When you save changes to the bit field type, the [alarms corresponding to that bit field type](/clarity/alarms/configure/conditions.md#bit-field-alarms) will be updated immediately. Those changes will be reflected in the **Alarms** view immediately, but you will still need to save any other pending alarm changes by clicking **OK**.
