Default Organizing my area!

Hello Everyone!
Schools starting up again and that means alot of things for me,
but only one maybe someone can help me with!
I'm am now officially the "House Manager" for the school Aud.
I have quite a few years under my belt, but now since the older guys are gone,
I want to make soem changes.
The guys before me didn't really like the idea of forms and plots, paperwork in general..
Any input on what I should start on?
Maybe a lighting plot of what we have hanging?
an inventory?
any ideas at all would be great! Thanks in advance for everthing!

You don't have an inventory? Thats a good place to start. And a plot of what's up is a good place to start as well. Do both at the same time. I'm not kidding you really need them both.

Well, we have a plot of every dimmer and whats where..
We don't have a CAD drawing of our plot and we rarley move anything
and an inventory, that would have come in handy this summer when my department director was wondering what happened to certain these fixtures,
happens to be they went missing when our bond project was in full swing.

I'll have to get in there and get to work then.
Any other Ideas?

Get yourself a fitting title first.
House Manager

Trust me, I do this all the time.
