Organization system

Abstract

An organization system includes a series of covered, side-by-side "status-tracking" filing trays, open at each end, for placement on an existing countertop (thus, the top surface of the covered trays continues to provide a flat working surface for that counter). Each filing tray corresponds to a given subject, and each contains a filing tray clipboard for holding the file pertaining to that subject. Above each tray is at least one symbol display mechanism, so that the status of the subject on different parameters can be displayed and monitored visually from a distance. The display mechanism depicts the status of these parameters by display of an appropriate symbol or color, for example, as follows: no display color (no action necessary); red display color (orders requested); yellow display color (orders acknowledged or in progress); and green display color (orders complete). A further set of stand-alone status-tracking clipboards for extra subjects is provided, which incorporate symbol display mechanisms onto the board itself.
