Not every trigger applies to every person. If you never drink coffee, a daily Caffeine low entry is just noise. You can switch off automatic detection for any automatic trigger.
Turning off Auto-detect does not delete the trigger. It stays in your list, and you can turn it back on whenever you like.
When you might want to
- You never drink coffee, tea or cola. Turn off Caffeine high and Caffeine low.
- You do not log your food. The Diet triggers may fire on partial data, so you may prefer them off.
- You live somewhere flat and never travel to the mountains. Turn off the altitude triggers.
- A trigger fires almost every day but you have seen no link with your spins.
Step by step
The steps are the same on iPhone and Android.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen.
- Tap Manage Items, then Triggers.
- Open the category card and find the trigger.
- Tap the row to open it.
- Tap Auto-detect so it shows Off.
- Tap Save & Recalculate at the bottom.
The bell is something different
The small bell on a row controls whether that trigger sends you an alert notification when it fires. Bells are off by default. The bell and Auto-detect are independent.
What happens after you turn it off
- VertigoMe stops adding that trigger to your days automatically.
- When you tap Save & Recalculate, the last 7 days are checked again, so automatic entries for that trigger from the past week are removed and stop counting towards your risk score.
- Older automatic entries stay, and anything you logged by hand is never touched. You can still log the trigger yourself.
Turning it back on
Open the row again, switch Auto-detect to On, and tap Save & Recalculate.
A gentle suggestion
If you are new to VertigoMe, leave most triggers on for the first month. A trigger that looks unlikely may turn out to matter once there is more data.
