## Active alerts

**Active Alerts** lists items requiring attention. Each alert shows its message, a **High Priority**, **Medium Priority** or **Low Priority** label and, where relevant, the warehouse. When nothing needs attention you see **No active alerts**.

Click **Adjust Stock** on an alert to open the stock adjustment form with that item and warehouse already selected. See [Inventory stock adjustments](https://docs.vestislabs.com/inventory/inventory-stock-adjustments/).

## Recent activity

**Recent Activity** shows the latest inventory movements (the three most recent for the selected warehouse). Each row shows the style, colour and size, how long ago it happened, the warehouse, and the quantity with a **+** for an increase or a **-** for a decrease. When there is nothing to show you see **No recent activity**.

## Create stock adjustment

- Click **Adjust Stock** to update inventory quantities.
