In today's fast-paced supply chain environment, visibility is key. The Joyagoo Spreadsheet transforms your quality control tracking from a static report into a dynamic, real-time dashboard. This guide will show you how to leverage its progress columns to pinpoint exactly when your items are ready for shipment.
The Power of Centralized QC Recording
Every purchase order, every batch, every single item can have its QC journey documented directly within the Joyagoo Spreadsheet. Instead of scattered emails, paper checklists, or separate apps, all critical information converges into one living document:
- Order/Item Identification (SKU, PO #, Batch #)
- QC Checkpoint Results (Pass/Fail with notes)
- Inspector Assignments & Timestamps
- Photographic Evidence & Document Links
Mastering Progress Columns for Real-Time Status
The core functionality for real-time monitoring lies in the intelligent use of progress columns. Here’s how to set them up and interpret the data:
1. Define Your QC Stages
Create columns for each distinct stage of your QC pipeline. For example:
| Column Header | Possible Values |
|---|---|
QC Stage | Awaiting Inspection, In Progress, On Hold |
Visual Check | Not Started, Pass, Fail |
Function Test | Not Started, Pass, Fail |
Packaging Review | Not Started, Pass, Fail |
Overall Status | Pending, QC Passed, QC Failed, Ready for Shipment |
2. Implement Status Triggers & Color Coding
Use conditional formatting to make the status visually intuitive at a glance:
- Red (Failed):
- Amber (On Hold/Awaiting):
- Green (Pass):
- Blue (Ready for Shipment):
- Amber (On Hold/Awaiting):
The "Overall Status"=IF"Ready for Shipment"
3. Gain Instant Visibility with Filters & Views
Transform your spreadsheet into a real-time monitoring panel:
- Filter"Ready for Shipment"
- Sort
- Create a separate dashboard view
- Sort
Key Benefits of Real-Time QC Monitoring

Every update is timestamped and attributable, creating a clear audit trail for the entire QC process.
Streamlined Shipment Scheduling
Knowing precisely when items become ready for shipment
Getting Started
To implement this in your Joyagoo Spreadsheet, simply map out your specific QC stages, create the corresponding columns, and apply the conditional formatting rules. The transition from manually chasing updates to watching your QC line turn blue for "Ready for Shipment"
