User Instructions
Step 1: Populate the Equipment_Inventory sheet with all existing marketing equipment. Use the dropdown menus for Category and Status to ensure consistency.
Step 2: Link each asset to campaigns using Campaign_Linkage. For example, assign “Camera MKT-2024-015” to “Q3_Influencer_Campaign”. This links costs directly to campaign performance.
Step 3: Update the Usage_Log every time equipment is checked out or returned. Include user name and purpose.
Step 4: Review the Dashboard sheet weekly. The pie chart shows asset category distribution; the bar graph compares maintenance costs across quarters.
