Table Structures and Columns

Daily Maintenance Log (Main Sheet)

| Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Date (DD/MM/YYYY) | Date/Time (Text formatted as date) | Daily log entry date; auto-populated if set to today’s date. | | Facility Area (e.g., Science Lab, Library, Gym) | Text/List Dropdown | Predefined list of school zones for consistency. | | Equipment/Asset ID or Name | Text/Reference (Dropdown from Inventory Sheet) | Links to inventory sheet; ensures traceability. | | Issue Description (Short Summary) | Text (Max 150 characters) | Brief description of the problem reported. | | Severity Level (Low/Medium/High/Critical) | Dropdown List (Valid values: Low, Medium, High, Critical) | Allows prioritization for immediate attention. | | Reported By (Staff/Student Name) | Text/String (Optional dropdown with common users) | Identifies who logged the issue. | | Time Reported (HH:MM AM/PM) | Time Format (Custom input or auto-time stamp if desired) | Tracks when issue was raised for response time analysis. | | Action Taken Today (Yes/No/Done/N/A) | Dropdown List (Yes, No, Done, N/A) | Indicates current resolution status. | | Technician Assigned To (Name or Team Code) | Text/List from Predefined Staff List | Assigns responsibility. | | Estimated Resolution Date (DD/MM/YYYY) | Date Format (Optional/Manual Entry) | For future tracking of pending tasks. | | Notes & Follow-up Instructions (Optional) | Text Area (Multiline, up to 300 characters) | Additional context or action steps. |

Equipment Inventory List

Formulas Required

To enable dynamic tracking and automated reporting, the following formulas are implemented:

Auto-populate today’s date: Use formula in the "Date" column: =TODAY(). This ensures users don’t have to type the date manually.
Count daily entries by severity: In the Monthly Summary sheet: =COUNTIF(Daily_Maintenance_Log!$C:$C,"Critical") (adjust range and criteria as needed).
Determine overdue tasks: In Repair Tracker sheet: =IF(AND([Estimated Resolution Date]


        
        Dynamic data validation for Asset IDs: Use Data Validation → List → Source referencing the Equipment Inventory Sheet.
        
        
        Daily total maintenance count: Formula in a summary cell:
            =COUNTA(Daily_Maintenance_Log!$A:$A)-1 (to exclude header).



    Conditional Formatting

    To enhance visual oversight and immediate issue detection:

    
        Critical severity issues: Highlight entire row in red if "Severity Level" = "Critical".
        Overdue tasks: Apply yellow highlight to rows where “Estimated Resolution Date” is before today and “Action Taken Today” ≠ “Done”.
        Better than expected resolution: Green fill for entries where repair was completed ahead of schedule.
        High/medium severity: Orange background for high or medium issues to draw attention without alarm.
    

    User Instructions

    
        Open the template: Always use the latest version and enable macros if required (though this is a formula-based template).

        Select from dropdowns: Use predefined lists for facility area, severity, and asset ID to maintain data integrity.
