User Instructions
Instructions for Large Business Users:
1. Only authorized personnel (Marketing Ops, PMs, and Compliance Officers) may edit the Maintenance Log.
2. Every marketing change—no matter how minor—must be logged within 24 hours of implementation.
3. Always attach supporting documents: campaign briefs, vendor contracts, analytics screenshots.
4. The dashboard auto-updates weekly; review every Monday for anomalies and overdue entries.
5. Use the dropdown lists only—manual typing causes data integrity errors in reporting systems.
6. Quarterly audits will be run using the Compliance & Audit Trail sheet; ensure all fields are filled.
