Every loaned item, its due date, and whether it worked.

Add each item on trial with its dates and result. The summary counts days on trial, flags what is late as of today’s record, and keeps the team’s decision from slipping.

out, tried, back on time
Drawn for this page. A trial has a start, an end and a decision; the log keeps all three in view.

How to use it

  1. Write the goal for the trial before the item arrives.
  2. Add the item with the date out and the date the lender wants it back.
  3. Set the record date to today each time you update, so overdue is counted correctly; copy to a new date to keep a history.
  4. Mark how it went at the end, and the team’s decision.
  5. Clean and check the item before it goes back.

What the log covers

Why trial first

Trying equipment in the real setting before buying it shows whether it helps with the task it was chosen for. IDEA asks teams to consider assistive technology, and a trial with a written goal is the evidence for that decision.

Loans and lenders

Lending libraries and vendors set their own loan periods, cleaning rules and damage terms. Keep their paperwork with the record; the log tracks dates, not contracts.

What it is not

The log does not make the purchase or eligibility decision. It keeps the trial organized so the team can.
