Table Structures and Data Types

Contacts Sheet

This is the core of the CRM functionality. It stores all relevant home-related contacts with structured fields:

Tasks & Follow-ups Sheet

This sheet ensures no home-related task falls through the cracks. Ideal for startups managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously.

Key Formulas Used in the Template

• Last Contact Date & Next Follow-Up Logic: Formula in NEXT_FOLLOW_UP_COLUMN: =IF(ISBLANK([Last Contact Date]), TODAY() + 7, [Last Contact Date] + 30) — automatically suggests follow-up intervals.
• Task Due Date Alert: =IF(TODAY() > [Due Date], "Overdue", IF([Due Date] = TODAY(), "Today", "On Track"))
• Status Auto-Update (from Tasks Sheet): =IF([Status]="Completed", TODAY(), "") — logs completion date when status changes.
• Count of Active Contacts: =COUNTIFS(Contacts!$F:$F, "Active")
• Pending Tasks Summary: =COUNTIFS(Tasks!$E:$E, "<>"Completed", Tasks!$D:$D, "<="&TODAY()) — shows overdue tasks.

Conditional Formatting Rules (Startup-Style Design)

• Overdue Tasks: Red background with white text on cells where Due Date is before today.
• Critical Priorities: Dark red fill and bold font for tasks marked as “Critical”.
• Last Contact Date: Light yellow highlight if contact hasn’t been updated in over 60 days (using: =DATEDIF([Last Contact Date], TODAY(), "D") > 60).
• Status Indicator: Color-coded icons (green for Active, amber for On Hold, gray for Inactive) in the Contacts sheet.
