Clear Alert

The Clear Alert command removes your interest in an object so that you are no longer notified of any changes. Existing notifications remain, but no future notifications will be received. This command can be applied at many different levels enabling fine-grained control.

 

As long as you have registered interest in an object, all changes made by other individuals to that object will be recorded on your Notifications page. These notifications will remain until you clear them or until the project is exported and imported (they are not considered part of the project data but instead are a complementary capability).

Stopping at the Entity Level

To stop follow one or more entities, select the desired entities from the entity list in the project explorer. Click on the Clear Alert command on the Home ribbon. You must have Read permission for the selected elements in order to unregister your interest.

Stopping at the Folder Level

To stop following all entities in a folder, select the desired folder from the project pane in the project explorer. Click on the Clear Alert command on the Home ribbon. Note that you will continue to receive notifications for any entities within the folder which you have separately followed at the entity level.

Stopping at the Package Level

To stop following all entities in a package, select the desired package from the project pane in the project explorer. Click on the Clear Alert command on the Home ribbon. Note that you will continue to receive notifications for any entities within the package which you have separately followed at the entity level.

 

NOTE:

If you have lost track of what you are following, visit your Notifications page and look at the Following tab. This lists all entities, folders, and packages that you are currently following. When unregistering interest, it is often easiest to delete the alerts directly from this page.
