Reading, dismissing, and re-firing

The Signals Hub is a live feed. Signals appear when their trigger condition is true and disappear when it isn't, so the page reflects what's actually going on right now in your comp set. This article explains exactly how that works.

Marking a Signal as read

Each Signal has a "read" action. Once you've reviewed a Signal and decided what to do (or that no action is needed), mark it as read, and it moves to Dismissed.

A read Signal is suppressed on future evaluations. Rate Radar won't keep showing you the same alert for the same situation and stay date the next time prices update.

The card also records who marked it as read, and when. So your team can see at a glance if a Signal has already been triaged, and by whom.

Why Signals reappear after being marked as read

A read Signal will come back if the underlying situation changes. For example:

  1. The condition changes. You marked "3 competitors sold out" as read; a 4th sells out. The Signal reappears as 4 competitors sold out.

  2. The price crossed a new threshold. You marked "competitors raised prices by 15" as read; rates kept climbing to 30. The Signal re-fires at the new magnitude.

  3. The priority changed. A Medium-priority Signal for a date that's now only a few days away might escalate to High as the date gets closer.

The point of this behaviour is twofold: you don't get pestered with the same notification when nothing has changed, but you also don't miss escalations when something changes.

When Signals disappear on their own

Signals don't need to be dismissed to vanish. They auto-clear when they are unread, and the condition stops being true. For example:

  • A "competitor sold out" disappears as soon as that competitor returns to the market.

  • A "competitors dropped prices" disappears once rates rebound to within the threshold.

  • A "pricing position" Signal clears as soon as you or your competitors move closer to the median.

Dismiss all

The Dismiss all button at the top of the Hub clears every visible Signal in one go. A confirmation modal asks Dismiss all Signals? before it actually runs — there's no undo, so the modal is there on purpose.

Use Dismiss all at the end of a pricing review when you've worked through everything that needs attention. After dismissing, the Hub shows the empty state:

All caught up! You've reviewed all X Signals. New Signals will appear here as new opportunities are detected.
