Open Alerts › rules

A rule has delete on the row, after test, edit and off. Example Co's rule covers every machine and tells ops@example.com. Off hides it until you show disabled. Delete removes it, and the first press only asks you to confirm.

Press delete, then confirm

Press delete. The label turns into a confirm. Press it again to remove the rule. This shot stops on the confirm, so the rule is still there. After the second press the row is gone. Alerts that are already open stay open. Pressing off instead keeps the contact and the machines, and on puts the same rule back.
