User Instructions

How to Use:

Start by populating the Equipment Master List with all current marketing assets. Include purchase details and assign each item to a specific marketing purpose (e.g., video production, trade show).
Every time equipment is checked out or returned, log the transaction in Annual Inventory Log. Use dropdowns for consistency.
Update Condition Notes after each use — this informs maintenance scheduling and budgeting.
Link campaigns to equipment via the Campaign-Asset Mapping sheet. This ensures that during quarterly planning, you can see which assets are critical to upcoming initiatives.
Check the Dashboards & Reports sheet weekly. Use the pie charts and bar graphs to visualize utilization rates and identify underused or overburdened equipment.
At year-end, run a depreciation report from Budget & Maintenance Tracker for accounting compliance and annual procurement planning.
