  1. Create a New Trip: Begin by entering trip details in the Travel Itinerary sheet. This auto-populates the "Travel Code" field in Asset Inventory.
  2. Add Assets: Use the "Asset Name", "Type", and assign to a traveler using drop-downs. The system auto-generates unique IDs.
  3. Update Status Regularly: As assets move through the journey (e.g., from “Pending” → “In Transit”), update their status in the Inventory sheet.
  4. Review Dashboard: Check the Status Dashboard weekly for real-time insights on asset location and readiness.
  5. Use Checklists: Track pre-departure tasks. Mark items as completed to reduce last-minute surprises.
  6. Schedule Updates: Set calendar reminders to review asset status 7 days before departure and upon return.
