# Event/Session Overrides

Overrides allow you to apply **event-specific or session-specific alert rules** that differ from the global defaults.

- **Event Name** – The event this override applies to
- **Session Name** – The specific session (if applicable)
- **Override Rules** – Which rules are overridden (e.g., **Grace Period**, **Notification Channels**)
- **Status** – Whether the override is **Active** or **Inactive**
- **Actions** – Toggle to enable/disable the override
