	In these times of increasing costs and decreasing research funding, data-driven decisions for increased productivity are more important than ever. But where does the data come from, who collects it, and how does it get to management?The typical approach is to create multiple paper lists to display tasks and collect data. However, paper forms must be continually recreated, are easily lost or damaged, cannot be viewed except in situ, and require time consuming processing before data analysis can occur. Software could help transfer these paper-based data to something easier to use and accessible to more people from multiple locations. However, most software is expensive and not user friendly.AppSheet(www.appsheet.com) automatically builds a mobile app based upon the structure of a spreadsheet saved in a cloud file system. This basic app can be further customized without the need to write code. With this no-code, app development product one can create custom tools for reference, data recording, and notification. Here are two examples of how the Office of Animal Resources (OAR) has used AppSheetin our routine vivarium processes.
