  1. Open the Jobs tab and replace the sample rows with your own — one row per entry. Formulas fill in automatically for new rows.
  2. Promised dates turn red when passed and the sign is not Installed; permits are the usual hold-up.
  3. Get a signed proof before production; Balance shows what to collect at install.
  4. Using Google Sheets? Upload the file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets (or File → Import in an open sheet). Formulas, dropdowns and highlights carry over.

The file opens locally on your device — nothing is uploaded, and you own the copy outright.
