Google Sheet Structure

Sheet:

A: Equipment ID | B: Equipment Name | C: Last Maintenance Date | D: Usage Hours
E: Calibration Due | F: Status | G: Technician Email | H: Supervisor Email | I: Last Alert Date

Sample Data:

E001 | MRI Machine | 2025-07-01 | 150 | 2025-08-15 | Active | [email protected] | [email protected] | 2025-08-01
E002 | X-Ray Unit | 2025-06-15 | 200 | 2025-08-10 | Overdue | [email protected] | [email protected] | 2025-08-05
