Seeing and/or transparency
Approximate altitude of the object above the horizon
Size and type of telescope used
Eyepiece (s) and resultant magnification (s)
Any filters used
Description of object

The description can be fairly brief. For instance with a target like 47 Tuc, you might record something like, "Large very bright globular cluster with a very condensed intense core". With a target like X Velorum (Dunlop 95) you might record something like, "bright yellow and blue pair with wide separation giving an excellent colour contrast".

You could set this up by adding extra columns to the original "EXCEL" spreadsheet and recording all the information on the spreadsheet.

Cheers,
