Use this form to manage the alert rules that you have set up in the Create alert rule form.

Note

You are notified if you change a rule that affects records that you have already been alerted about. For example, the event for a rule is "Was due 20 days ago", and you change the event to "Was due 30 days ago". You are asked whether you want to receive alerts about records that you have been alerted about in the last 10 days.
