Sheet Names

• Weekly Overview: A summary dashboard displaying KPIs such as total deliveries scheduled, on-time performance rate, pending tasks, and resource utilization.
• Daily Task Planner: The central working sheet where users input and track daily logistics activities for each day of the week (Monday through Sunday).

Table Structures

The core of the template is the Daily Task Planner sheet, structured as a time-organized weekly table. Each row represents a distinct logistics task or activity, while columns capture detailed attributes. The structure supports up to 7 days per week, with each day formatted in its own section for clarity.
