You can mute any object in the system (i.e. Feeder, Broadcaster, Receiver, Source, Channel or Target), stopping it from generating error notifications. You can mute the object permanently (i.e. until the mute is manually 'unmuted') or you can set a date and time when the mute will be automatically 'unmuted'.

:::hint{type="info"}
Each type of object can be muted on the display screen for that object type, i.e. a *Feeder* can be muted on the *Feeders* screen and a *Source* can be muted on the *Sources* screen.
