Table Structures & Columns (Daily Client Log)

The Daily Client Log is the core of this template. It uses structured tables to ensure consistency and ease of filtering, sorting, and analysis.

Formulas Required

• Pull-down Lists: Use Data Validation with source lists from 'Client Directory' and 'Team Members' to standardize inputs.
• Auto-fill Date: Formula: =TODAY(), placed in a header cell for easy insertion.
• Time Tracking Summary: Use SUMIFS to calculate total time per team member: =SUMIFS([Time Spent (Minutes)], [Team Member], "John Doe", [Date], ">=2024-04-01")
• Client Activity Count: Use COUNTIFS to count interactions per client per day: =COUNTIFS([Client Name], "Acme Corp", [Date], DATE(2024, 4, 1))
• Status Indicator Formula: For the 'Status Update' column, use conditional logic to flag critical issues.

Conditional Formatting

• High Priority Activities: Highlight rows where "Status Update" is "At Risk" or "Delayed" using red-orange fill with dark text.
• Satisfaction Score: Color scale (green-yellow-red) based on score: 5 = green, 3 = yellow, 1–2 = red.
• Time Spent >90 Minutes: Apply a light blue highlight to flag extended interactions that may require review.
• Duplicate Entries: Use a formula-based rule to flag repeated client entries on the same day by the same team member.
