Team Supply List (Main Table)

Time Allocation Tracker (Daily Log)

This table logs time spent by team members on supply-related activities using a structured format:

Scheduled Tasks & Deadlines (Calendar View)

This sheet includes recurring and one-time supply-related tasks with automatic reminders.

Formulas Required for Automation

The template is powered by dynamic formulas to ensure real-time updates and reporting accuracy:

• =IF(C3<D3,"⚠️ Low Stock","✔️ In Stock") – Flags items below minimum threshold.
• =SUMIFS(TimeTracker!E:E,TimeTracker!C:C,{"Jane Smith"}) – Totals hours worked by a team member.
• =NETWORKDAYS(A2,B2) – Calculates workdays between start and end dates (for task duration).
• =VLOOKUP(A3,SupplyList!A:A,4,FALSE) – Pulls unit of measure for an item ID.
• =COUNTIF(StatusRange,"In Progress") – Counts active tasks in real time.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visibility and alert users to critical situations:

• Low Stock Highlight: Cells where Quantity on Hand < Minimum Stock Level are highlighted in red.
• Pending Tasks (Orange): Rows with status "Pending" use orange background.
• High Priority Tasks (Red): Tasks marked "High" get a red border and bold text.
• Trend Lines: The Usage & Consumption report shows green arrows for increasing trends, red for decreasing.
