Edit alert

Overview

There is no separate edit page for alert rulesets. You manage existing alerts from the Alerts list via the spotlight sheet — a wide right panel with three tabs. From the Overview tab you update name, enabled state, and notification frequency inline. Matching filter rules are view-only after creation.

Operational edits (pause during vacation, rename for clarity, switch digest from daily to weekly) happen here. Criteria changes require a new ruleset — plan filter migrations deliberately to avoid duplicate emails.

Tip: Before you change a production ruleset, confirm:

You know whether you need pause (enabled off) vs delete vs new ruleset
Teammates rely on this ruleset name in runbooks — rename communicates clearly
If filters must change, you will disable old ruleset first then create replacement
You reviewed Activity tab to judge if noise or silence drove the change

Important: Scope (personal vs team) and filter rules cannot be edited after creation. See Create alert for immutable fields.

How edit fits in the alert lifecycle

Need	Action
Pause notifications	Overview → Enabled off → Save
Rename	Overview → name → Save
Change digest	Overview → frequency → Save
Change CPV/country/keywords	New ruleset + disable old
Delete entirely	List card ⋮ → Remove

How to open the spotlight sheet

Path	Steps
Alerts list	Click ruleset card title (or magnifying glass hover target)
Deep link	Open URL with ruleset selected (when shared)

The spotlight opens as a right sheet (max width ~3xl, scrollable). Closing the sheet returns to the grid without losing list position.

Spotlight sheet structure

Element	Description
Title	Ruleset name (matches Overview field)
Description	Information and statistics regarding this alert.
Tabs	Overview · Configuration · Activity

Overview tab — editable fields

Field	Control	Validation
Ruleset name	Text input	Required non-empty
Enabled	Toggle	Pauses or resumes matching
Notification frequency	Select	Same options as create wizard step 1

Save behavior

Change one or more fields.
Click Save.

Result	Toast
Success	Ruleset updated — Your changes will be visible to your team members immediately.
Failure	Error toast — review validation

Team-scoped rulesets: colleagues see name/frequency/enabled changes immediately.

Read-only context on Overview

Display-only fields may include:

Owner scope (personal vs team)
Creator identity
Created date
Match statistics summary

Configuration tab — read only

Shows cumulative rule logic for the ruleset:

UI element	Meaning
Cumulative badge	Tooltip: All of the conditions must be met for an alert to be triggered.
Filter preview cards	Each configured rule with chips
AND semantics	Every filter must pass for a trigger

Important: You cannot add, remove, or modify filters from this tab. To change criteria, create a new ruleset and disable or delete the old one.

Use Configuration as the spec when manually copying filters into a replacement ruleset.

Activity tab

Trigger history for this ruleset:

Content	Use
Recent matches / occurrences	Validate ruleset health
Timestamps and counts	Spot bursts vs droughts
Links to matched notices	Open Notice overview

Using Activity to tune strategy

Pattern	Likely diagnosis	Action
Many matches daily	Filters too broad	New ruleset: add country, CPV, keywords
Zero matches weeks	Filters too strict	New ruleset: loosen value or CPV
Matches but irrelevant titles	Keyword too generic	New ruleset: refine keywords
Good matches	Healthy	No filter change needed

Delete ruleset

Deletion is not inside the spotlight sheet.

On Alerts list, find the card.
Open ⋮ menu → Remove.
Confirm via destructive toast pattern.
Ruleset gone — cannot undo.

Recreate via Create alert if removed by mistake.

What you can vs cannot edit

Property	Editable in spotlight?
Name	Yes — Overview tab
Enabled	Yes
Notification frequency	Yes
Scope (personal / team)	No — creation only
Filter rules	No — Configuration view only
Owner transfer	No
Creator / created date	No

Alternative workflow — recreate ruleset

When filters must change:

Open Configuration tab — document existing filters.
Overview → set Enabled off on old ruleset → Save (stops duplicate emails).
Click New ruleset on alerts list.
Copy criteria manually in step 2; adjust CPV, value, or keywords.
Save new ruleset; monitor Activity.
Remove old ruleset from card menu when confident.

Shortcut: on any exemplar notice, Receive alerts on Notice overview seeds a fresh ruleset quickly.

Permissions

Action	Requirement
Open spotlight	Signed in; access to ruleset scope
Save Overview edits	Ruleset owner or team administrator (per team policy)
Delete from list	Same as remove permission on card
View Activity	Same as open spotlight

Assistant updates

The Home or dashboard assistant may update an alert's name, enabled, or frequency on your behalf — not filter rules. After assistant actions, open Configuration to confirm criteria unchanged.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Likely cause	What to do
Save fails	Empty name	Fill ruleset name
Changes not visible to teammate	Personal scope ruleset	Expected — personal is not team-shared
Still getting emails after disable	Digest already queued	Wait for cycle; verify Enabled saved
Cannot find filter edit	By design	New ruleset
Spotlight empty	Bad deep link	Open from grid card

FAQ

Why isn't there a full edit wizard?

Creation uses three steps for initial setup; ongoing edits focus on operational toggles teams change often (pause, rename, digest).

Will disabling stop emails immediately?

Enabled off stops new trigger processing. An email already batched in a digest may still arrive for the current cycle.

Can I change a personal ruleset to team scope?

No. Create a new team-scoped ruleset and delete the personal one.

Can I edit filters if I am team admin?

No — filter mutation is not exposed for any role in current UI.

How do I temporarily pause without losing history?

Enabled off preserves ruleset and Activity history. Re-enable when ready.

Does rename affect match logic?

No — only display and email subject context; filters unchanged.
