Alerts
The Alerts feed gathers everything that needs your attention into one place — low stock, expiring items, overdue loans, due servicing — so nothing important slips through.
Where to find it: the Alerts screen (in the menu, when the module is enabled), and the attention widgets on the dashboard.
Alerts pulls together the things that are wrong now or soon:
- Low / out of stock — items at or below their reorder point / threshold.
- Expiring — batches and perishables approaching their date.
- Overdue loans — items out with a contact past their due date.
- Due maintenance & warranty — servicing due and warranties about to lapse.
Each alert links straight to the thing that raised it, so you can act on it in a click.
💡 Tip The inventory status chips mirror these categories, so you can filter your item list to just the low-stock or expiring items and deal with them in bulk.
ℹ️ Note Alerts is about what's wrong now or imminently; the Upcoming agenda is the forward calendar of everything due. They overlap but answer different questions — "what needs fixing?" versus "what's coming up?".
On an installed app, alerts can also arrive as OS notifications, so you hear about them without opening Gubbins.
- Upcoming agenda — the forward view.
- Reminder notifications — alerts as OS notifications.
- Low stock & gauges — the thresholds behind stock alerts.
