ISSUE INTAKE · Workflow idea
Take a completed problem report, align its answers with the fields your team tracks, and add it to the existing log so staff can review and follow up.
01 / The starting point
A completed online form with contact details, severity, and a problem description
“Add the submitted name, email, severity, and problem description to the matching columns in the team’s existing spreadsheet.”
02 / The work
Carries each completed problem report into an existing spreadsheet, matching submitted answers to the columns the team uses to track issues.
Start with a submitted form that contains the problem details and contact information your team has requested.
Place the name, email, severity, and problem description in their corresponding spreadsheet columns.
Append the submitted information as a new row while preserving the current records.
Give the responsible team a clear record to assess, prioritize, and follow up on.
Ask a person to review missing details or high-severity reports before deciding on a response.
03 / The result
A new row in the shared problem log with the submitted details available for team review.
Documents · Example outcome
A new row in the shared problem log with the submitted details available for team review.
Check that form questions and spreadsheet columns stay aligned. Limit access to contact details and have a person review urgent or unclear reports before deciding what action to take.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Use consistent labels for the name, email, severity, and problem description in both places.
Confirm the spreadsheet has the expected columns and that new submissions should be added as rows.
Limit access to contact details and name the person or team that reviews incoming reports.
Check a complete report, missing information, and a high-severity example to confirm the entries are clear and reviewable.

Turn a teammate’s bug report into a structured issue draft, then let an authorized person check its details before it is added to the team queue.
Validate an authorized issue form, map its fields to a proposed ticket, and present the record for the responsible team to confirm. Keep source details accurate, information appropriately private, and consequential next steps under human review.
