Search all items to ensure that they've been entered. If there is more than 1 item with the same title, check to see if a duplicate record might have been entered. Open the record. Ensure that items have been added link only, pdf only, or link and pdf as specified on the spreadsheet. 

When checking work done by a trainee, every detail must be checked on every record until the person is doing the work correctly for a few days. After that, give special attention to things that they might not have encountered.

When checking work done by someone trained to do the work, spot check, by checking one detail in each record. Don't follow the order given here, but start with something different each time. When spot checking, if you find an error, check the element in other items where the error might also have occurred. If a pattern of making that same error emerges, ask the person to go through their work and fix. Otherwise, note the correction on the appropriate line on the spreadsheet. If there are 5 4 error free works in row, skip detail checking on the next two 2 records.
