<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, Everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I finally had a few minutes to bear down and pound out what (I think) seems to be a good start for this spreadsheet:
<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ap6xBlSDakSudFFiRERMRGdRQlpGVmpNazBtX1FPaGc&usp=sharing">
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ap6xBlSDakSudFFiRERMRGdRQlpGVmpNazBtX1FPaGc&usp=sharing</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are a few things I want to point out:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) I tried to populate the spreadsheet with everything I found on the old Google Doc, using the date the entry came onto the doc as the date reported. I tried to figure out who was assigned, but I’m sure I got a couple things mixed up.
Please correct any errors you see.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) I made three separate sheets within the document: New, In-Progress, and Complete. At first, I was thinking about using a filter to sort the rows based on status, but it’s not as intuitive to make GDocs include a new row into the filter
as it should be. Plus, with the few tasks that are in there now, separation onto separate sheets makes it feel a little easier to use (at least that’s how it seems to me). If that doesn’t seem to work, let me know, and we can get it sorted out.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) I made the “status” column a dropdown list so that you can quickly select New, In-Progress, or Complete. When you select “In-Progress” from an item on either the new or complete sheet, it will move that row to the in-progress sheet (same
applies for the other statuses, respectively). We can easily add more items to that, but I figured those three are probably the most important statuses to get started.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4) Given that Google Docs can integrate some kind of online form into spreadsheets pretty easily, would it be worthwhile to create a simple form that anyone can fill out with a summary and description? Then, we could dump that into the
“New” spreadsheet and get it moving from there.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me know what needs to be changed, and what else you’d like to see, and I’ll be happy to make it happen.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
