Cover email — sending the HTML staff editor
To: Meredith Kuhn, John Trozzi (cc: Ashley Jensen) From: Howard Enos — Computer Guru Date: 2026-04-18 Subject: Optional tool to edit the staff list — try this if the Word doc feels heavy
Meredith / John,
I had some free time and I made this HTML file that may or may not help.
It's an alternative to marking up the Word questionnaire — same data, same questions, just in a format that might be faster to work through on a computer. Double-click the file and it opens in Edge, Chrome, Safari, whatever you have. Nothing to install, no login, no account to make.
What you get:
- Every staff member already grouped by department, pulled from what's in Active Directory today
- Drag the
⋮⋮grip next to a name to move them to a different department (instead of retyping names in another table) - Click any name or title to correct the spelling or title inline — no form fields, just click and type
- A notes box under each name for freeform comments — spelling concerns, "this person is leaving in June," "they actually belong in Memory Care," whatever you want me to know about that person
- Access-type buttons for each person: D = desktop only, P = phone only, D+P = both, — = leave blank if you're not sure and we'll decide together
- Outside (building) and ALIS are separate checkboxes — tick them independently for whoever needs them
- + Add row at the bottom of every department if I've missed someone
A few people already have notes pre-filled where I had open questions — Matt Brooks' department, Christine Nyanzunda's one-or-two-accounts question, Kyla Quick Tiffany's name spelling, Patricia Sandoval-Beck's hyphen, and a few caregiver names I wasn't confident on. Answer those in the notes box next to each name and I'll have everything I need.
How to send it back:
Your edits autosave to the browser as you type. When you're done, click the green Save to File button at the top — that downloads a new copy of the HTML file with everything baked in. Email that copy back to me and I'll see every change. If you'd rather, Export JSON or Export CSV buttons also work. Any of the three is fine — whichever is easiest on your end.
If you switch computers partway through, use Save to File and open the downloaded copy on the other machine — your edits travel with the file.
If the Word doc is easier, use the Word doc. This is not a replacement, just another option. Whichever format gets us accurate answers is the right tool.
Thank you —
Howard
