Table Structures and Columns (Data Types)

The core table resides in the MaintenanceLog_ClientView sheet, structured as a dynamic Excel Table named “tbl_MaintenanceLog.” Each column is defined with strict data validation and appropriate data types to ensure consistency and ease of analysis:

Formulas Required

• Next_Due_Date: =IF(Maintenance_Type="Update Content", Date+30, IF(Maintenance_Type="A/B Test Run", Date+14, IF(Maintenance_Type="Refresh Design", Date+90, ""))) — auto-calculates due date based on asset type.
• Status_Dynamic: =IF(TODAY()>Next_Due_Date, "Overdue", IF(TODAY()>=Date, "Completed", "Pending")) — evaluates status in real-time.
• Summary_Counts (Dashboard): Use COUNTIFS to tally completed tasks per campaign, average days between maintenance cycles, and % of approved client reviews.
• Asset_ID Lookup: =VLOOKUP(Asset_ID, Asset_List!A:B, 2,FALSE) — retrieves campaign name from Asset_List.

Conditional Formatting

• Overdue Tasks: Red background if Status = "Overdue".
• High Priority: Orange border for any task marked “High” priority.
• New Entries (last 7 days): Light green fill to highlight recent updates for client review.
• Client Review Status: Blue font if “Approved”, red if “Rejected with Comments.”

Instructions for the User

This template is designed for marketing agencies and internal teams presenting maintenance progress to clients. To use effectively:

1. Populate the Asset_List sheet first with all marketing assets (e.g., ad IDs, email templates) and their associated campaigns.
2. Each time a maintenance task is performed, add a new row to MaintenanceLog_ClientView.
3. Select values from dropdowns only — do not type freely — to preserve data integrity.
4. Update the “Client_Review_Status” field after sharing this log with your client. Use the comments column (adjacent hidden sheet) for detailed feedback.
5. The Dashboard tab auto-updates and displays KPIs such as “Total Maintenance Tasks Completed This Quarter” and “Client Approval Rate.”
6. Do not edit protected sheets unless you have the password (provided in Notes_and_Instructions).
7. Export to PDF monthly for client reports — use the "Print_Optimized" layout on the Dashboard sheet.

Recommended Charts and Dashboards (Dashboard Sheet)

• Pie Chart: “Distribution of Maintenance Types” — shows how effort is allocated across assets.

• KPI Cards: Top 3 metrics: Total Active Assets, Avg. Days Between Maintenance, Client Approval Rate (%).
• Filterable Table: Allows client to filter by Campaign, Asset_Type, or Status — fostering transparency and trust.
