CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES (Manager View)

• Overdue Tasks: Highlight rows in red if "Overdue Status" is "Yes".
• Priorities: Color-code cells based on priority: Red for High, Orange for Medium, Green for Low.
• Status Columns: Use green checkmarks (✓) for "Completed", yellow exclamation marks (!) for "In Progress", and gray dashes (—) otherwise.
• Due Date Alerts: Highlight due dates within the next 3 days in light yellow with bold text.
• Employee Workload: Conditional formatting on the "Assigned To" column to show color gradients based on number of active tasks per employee.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER (Manager)

1. Setup Phase: Open the template and go to Data Validation & Lookup Tables. Confirm that departments, priorities, and task types match your organization’s structure.
2. Assign Tasks: In the Employee Task Assignments sheet, enter new chores using dropdowns to ensure consistency. Assign tasks by selecting an employee from the list (pulling from Employee Profiles).
3. Update Progress: On a daily or weekly basis, update the "Status" field. When a task is finished, select “Completed” — the system will auto-populate completion date.
4. Review Dashboard: Navigate to Main Dashboard. This page displays key performance indicators (KPIs), including % of tasks completed, overdue counts, and workload heatmaps by employee.
5. Generate Reports: Use the "Task History & Logs" sheet to generate monthly or quarterly summaries of task completion rates for individual employees or departments.
6. Maintain Data: Regularly update employee profiles and review task data to avoid duplication or misassignment.
