Running a book...?

Hey,

This is meant for the macro guys, but if anyone else knows feel free to share. What is the basic "outline" for running a book? As in, what does the spreadsheet actually look like? In fact, I would guess most of you use a program that automates it, but if you could explain the basics that would still be appreciated. I mean, for L/S equity it is simple enough, but when fx, options, futures and futures options get added it gets way more complicated.

Might sound strange but I'm curious. I'm starting to juggle a lot of different assets in my PA and I feel like I could be organizing better. If someone wants to PM me a "blank" or filled out book that would be awesome, too. Tried to search for something like this but didn't turn up anything of much use.

Thanks yall.

I used to do Asia-Pacific PE (kind of like FoF). Now I do something else but happy to try and answer questions on that stuff.
