IT/Software Tracking Templates in Google Docs

How to Make IT/Software Tracking in Google Docs?

In the business of computer software technology, it’s important that your company/organization carefully manages every aspect of its operations. Fortunately, you can utilize various kinds of tracking documents and spreadsheets to achieve this. Smallbusiness.chron.com describes spreadsheets as tools for monitoring and organizing different types of information--from the sales of your subscriptions to the known issues in your applications. So, it’s the perfect material for the job!

To speed up your work, we’ve prepared several tips on how you can instantly set up a tracker in Google Docs!

1. Label Each Category as Needed

Open your template file in Google Docs. On the template, you’ll see a table with some prewritten content in the cells. Edit the category cells—usually found on top of the table or its far-left side—by replacing the text with the appropriate name for each item category.

2. Enter the Required Items and Arrange the Layout

After providing the labels, enter each item under their appropriate categories. Once that’s done, work on resizing the cells and using text alignments to improve the overall readability of the sheet. Also, you can add or remove rows and columns by right-clicking a cell to access those functions.

3. Take Advantage of Colors

To improve both the look and function of your document, use different colors to segment the various sections of the table. When deciding which ones to use, remember to have a light tone for the cell itself and a dark tone for the text (or vice versa); otherwise, you’ll end up making the contents hard or impossible to read instead.

4. Fill In Other Fields on Your Tracker

With your tracker table finally set up and ready to use, input the necessary information on your tracker sheet (such as the company’s name, the company’s contact info, your name, etc). Don’t forget to add the company logo if required.
