SHEET NAMES

The template includes the following key sheets:

• Task Scheduling Master: The primary data repository for all tasks associated with CRM activities.
• CRM Contacts: Stores customer information linked to scheduled tasks.
• Task Logs: Tracks task execution, completion status, and user interactions.
• Analysis View (Summary Dashboard): A centralized view with charts, KPIs, and filters to visualize performance.

TABLE STRUCTURES AND COLUMN DEFINITIONS

Each table is structured to support relational integrity and efficient querying. Data types are clearly defined for accuracy and consistency.

1. Task Scheduling Master

All columns use standardized data types: Text for identifiers and descriptions, Date for due and activity dates, and Text/Number combinations for priority levels. The Task ID is auto-populated using a formula in column A to ensure uniqueness.

2. CRM Contacts

3. Task Logs (Audit Trail)

FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template includes several dynamic formulas to ensure data accuracy and automation:

• Auto Task ID Generator (in Task Scheduling Master): `=IF(LEN(A2)=0,"", "TSK-"&TEXT(DATEVALUE(TODAY()),"YY")&"-."&TEXT(COUNTA($A$2:A2),0))`
• Due Date Reminder Flag: `=IF(B3
• Status Color Logic: Uses conditional formatting with formulas to display status color codes.
• Summary Count: `=COUNTIFS(Status, "Completed")` to count finished tasks by category.
• Last Updated Time: `=NOW()` in the log sheet for real-time tracking.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

The template uses conditional formatting to enhance readability and alert users to critical issues:

• Red Highlight: If "Due Date" is less than or equal to today, the row turns red.
• Yellow for Priority High/Urgent: Cells with "High" or "Urgent" in Priority column highlight yellow.
• Status Bars: Gradient fills based on status (green for completed, orange for in progress, red for delayed).
• Due Date Alerts: A warning bar appears when a task is overdue by more than 3 days.
