Bay and job status on the shop TV — updated from Google Sheets

Show Bay, Vehicle, Job and Status on the service-bay wall without a signage suite. Use job codes — never customer names on a sheet published to the web.

In one sentence

Sheet2Notice Shop Board (a Schedule Board preset) turns a published Google Sheet into a live auto shop bay board. Typical columns are Bay, Vehicle or Service, Job, ETA / Time and Status (In Progress, Waiting Parts, Ready).

01

Built for the bay wall techs already glance at

Whiteboards get messy by lunch. A published sheet keeps every bay TV honest for advisors and technicians.

  • Auto shop bay board Google Sheets
  • In Progress / Waiting Parts / Ready statuses
  • Promised pickup time on the same row
  • Optional lobby ticker for shop hours
02

Privacy: job codes, not customers

Published sheets are public. Use Job or Work Order codes and vehicle descriptors you would put on a lobby whiteboard. Never publish customer names, phones, emails or full VINs you treat as sensitive.

03

Same engine as Schedule Board

Shop Board only changes defaults (hide completed, title, privacy ticker). Pick Schedule Board in the builder anytime and map Bay → location, Vehicle → event, Job → owner.

Questions, answered

What people ask before starting

Can we show customer names?

Only if that information is already meant for a public wall. Prefer job codes. Never put phones, emails or payment details in a published sheet.

Does this replace our shop management system?

No. Sheet2Notice is a presentation layer for what you choose to show on a wall. RO / DMS tools stay the system of record.

How do Waiting Parts and Ready show up?

Set Status to Waiting Parts or Ready (aliases map into the Schedule Board status colours). The sheet wording stays on the pill when you use those labels.
