You can filter to view only the active rules (rules which will trigger alert for matching accounts) or inactive rules (rules which will not trigger any alert even if there is a matching account).


You can also quickly search for a particular rule by typing a search term in the search box on the top right.


Hovering over the title of an alert rule will show a snapshot of the description of that rule.

Delete Alerts & Alert Tasks Associated with a Rule


If you'd like to delete all the alerts and/or alert tasks that have been generated from a particular rule, you can do so by clicking the action "Delete Alerts" for that rule. Please note that this action is not reversible, once all the alerts/alert tasks are deleted, they cannot be retrieved. 



Activate & Deactivate a Rule


You can "Deactivate" a rule to stop it from triggering further alerts/alert tasks. A deactivated rule will be in an "Inactive" state and will not lose all its existing settings.  


To deactivate/activate a rule, mark the checkbox in front of a rule and click "Deactivate"/"Activate" on the top left. You can also select multiple rules for bulk deactivating/activating.
