Table Structures and Column Definitions

1. Client Master (Sheet: Client Master)

2. Daily Interaction Log (Sheet: Daily Interaction Log)

3. Priority Queue (Sheet: Priority Queue)

4. Productivity Summary (Sheet: Productivity Summary)

Data Types and Formulas Required

All data types are standardized to ensure consistency:

• Date fields: Text/Date format (e.g., "YYYY-MM-DD")
• Duration: Numeric (minutes)
• Status fields: Dropdown using Data Validation
• Priorities: Dropdown with values — Low, Medium, High, Urgent

Key Formulas:

• =COUNTIFS(Daily Interaction Log!B:B, "CUST001") – Counts interactions per client
• =AVERAGEIFS(Daily Interaction Log!D:D, D2:D100, ">30") – Calculates average call duration over 30 minutes
• =IF(AND([Due Date] < TODAY(), [Status]="To Do"), "Overdue", "") – Flags overdue tasks in Priority Queue
• =SUMIFS(Productivity Summary!B:B, Productivity Summary!A:A, TODAY()) – Daily interaction count

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Priority Highlighting: High/Urgent tasks in red; Medium in yellow; Low in green.
• Overdue Tasks: Cells where due date is before today are shaded orange with bold text.
• Status Tracking: "Pending" rows are highlighted with a light blue background to indicate attention needed.
• Daily Productivity Thresholds: If total interactions fall below 5, a red warning appears in the summary sheet.
