### <a name="faq32"> Why would alert un-mute itself?</a>
If alert un-mutes itself then it most likely means that the alert cleared and is then triggered again.
Please review eventlog as it will tell you in there.
### <a name ="faq33"> How do I change the Device Type?</a>
You can change the Device Type by going to the device you would like to change, then click on the Gear Icon -> Edit.
If you would like to define custom types, we suggest using [Device Groups](/Extensions/Device-Groups/). They will be listed in the menu similarly to device types.
