Table Structures & Columns (Task Tracker - Employee View)

The primary working area, the Task Tracker (Employee View), is structured as a detailed table with the following columns and data types: | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |--------------------------|-------------------|-----------| | Task ID | Text (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier for each task (e.g., PRJ-001, TASK-234). | | Project Name | Text | Name of the overarching project. | | Task Title | Text | Brief title describing the task. | | Process Step | Text | The specific step in the documented process (e.g., "Requirement Gathering", "Code Review"). | | Assigned To (Employee) | Text / Dropdown | Name or username of employee responsible. Uses a dropdown from the Data Validation Rules sheet. | | Start Date | Date | When the task began. | | Due Date | Date | Deadline for completion. | | Status | Dropdown (Not Started, In Progress, Blocked, Completed) | | Priority | Dropdown (Low, Medium, High, Critical) | | Estimated Effort (hrs) | Number | Expected time to complete task. | | Actual Effort (hrs) | Number | Time actually spent. Used for performance tracking. | | Notes / Process Details | Text | Detailed description of steps taken, challenges faced, and decisions made—critical for Process Documentation. | | Last Updated | Date & Time | Auto-updated timestamp using =NOW(). |

Formulas Required

Several dynamic formulas enhance functionality: - =TEXT(TODAY(), "yyyy-mm-dd"): Used in a hidden cell to auto-populate today’s date for status checks. -

=IF([@Due Date]: Auto-assesses task health and displays in the Status Health column (if added).
    - =IF(OR([@Status]="Blocked", [@Status]="Not Started"), "", TODAY()-[@Start Date]): Calculates elapsed time only for tasks that are in progress or completed.
    - =COUNTIFS(StatusRange, "Completed") / COUNTA(TaskIDRange): Used on the Project Overview sheet to calculate project completion percentage.
    - =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(TaskID, ProcessDocumentationLog!A:D, 4, FALSE)), "New", VLOOKUP(TaskID, ProcessDocumentationLog!A:D, 4, FALSE)): Tracks whether a task has been previously documented.

    Conditional Formatting

    Visual cues are applied using conditional formatting rules:

    - **Overdue Tasks**: Red fill with white text if Due Date is earlier than today.
    - **High Priority & In Progress**: Orange background for tasks marked "High" or "Critical" and status = "In Progress".
    - **Completed Tasks**: Green background and checkmark icon (if enabled via icons).
    - **Blocked Tasks**: Dark red font and bold border.
    - **Status Column Color Coding**:
        - Not Started: Light gray
        - In Progress: Blue
        - Blocked: Red
        - Completed: Green
