Sheet Names and Their Functions

• 1. Contacts – Central repository for all client and stakeholder records.
• 2. Interactions Log – Detailed history of all communication with clients (emails, calls, meetings).
• 3. Task Tracker – Assignable follow-up actions tied to contacts or interactions.
• 4. Dashboard & Summary – Visual analytics and KPIs for monitoring performance and activity.
• 5. Notes & Templates – Pre-written email templates, meeting agendas, and secure note-taking space.

Table Structures and Data Types

Sheet 1: Contacts (Main CRM Database)

Sheet 2: Interactions Log

Formulas Required for Automation

• Contact ID Auto-Generation: In the Contacts sheet, use =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&COUNTA(A:A) to generate unique IDs.
• Last Contact Date Update: Use a VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP formula in the Contacts sheet to pull the most recent date from the Interactions Log using =MAX(IF(Interactions!B:B=Contacts!A2,Interactions!C:C,"")).
• Status Auto-Update: Conditional logic to mark a contact as "Follow-Up Needed" if no interaction has occurred in 30 days.
• Task Deadline Reminder: In the Task Tracker sheet, use =IF(TODAY()>=Deadline,"Overdue","On Track").

Conditional Formatting Rules (Enhanced Visibility)

• Priority Highlighting: Apply color scales to "Priority Level" column: Red for High, Yellow for Medium, Green for Low.
• Overdue Tasks: Use conditional formatting to highlight tasks in the Task Tracker where the due date is past today.
• Last Contact Alerts: Highlight contacts with "Last Contact Date" older than 30 days in light red for follow-up.
• Frequent Interactions: Use icon sets to visualize how often each contact has been interacted with (e.g., 1–5 visits, 6+ visits).
