Helpful Tip For Dealing with Common Services on Multiple Computers

When you deal with a lot of computers at the same time with the same or similar services, it becomes harder to keep track of what has been done on what computer. The problem becomes increasingly worse when you are dealing with more than one technician working on the same set of computers. While you can input everything into a ticket system and refer back to it or double check your work, this can take a significant amount of time, especially when dealing with multiple computers.

This is our solution.

What we have basically done is create a template, upload it to Vistaprint and have them print us several hundred of each set of sticky notes. Each one is clearly labeled on the bottom, the first one in the pictures that is not labeled is for the diagnostic results.

This has greatly helped us to streamline the process and has helped us to save a lot of time. It makes it very easy for any technician to see what has been done and what has not been done.

I hope this helps.

I like the idea. what is the price of the sticky notes? I am a one sometimes two man operation. However I am also old so I sometime forget what I have done to what Pc
Thanks

I would have to look it up man. If I get a chance I will. Off the top of my head though, I got about 400 or 500 (4 or 5 stacks of 100 sheets) of each for around $50.
 
Great idea there Dean. Thanks for sharing :)

although I'm a one man band myself, with running multiple machines, I also forget where i'm up to. And have a checklist of sorts similar to yours.

I like the idea of it being a sticky note though, may design something similar, and see what I can arrange here.
 
We use similar for tune-ups and a windows re-install etc.

The only difference being that I printed them on A4 paper and have a smallish set of those plastic desk tidy drawers big enough to hold the paper sat on the workbench that we can easily retrieve whichever document we need.
