1. Weekly Planner (Main View)

This is the primary dashboard where employees visualize their week in a calendar format. It displays tasks, appointments, and priority levels across days.

2. Task Tracker & Status Log

A centralized repository for all tasks with enhanced tracking features and formula-driven status updates.

3. Daily Task Summary (Auto-Generated)

This sheet auto-populates each day’s tasks from the Weekly Planner using formulas to calculate workloads and status distribution.

Key Formulas
