add - Print all/selected items of a section including subtasks and pictures

[Christian_Holzer]

I do have to provide work orders in paper, so I need to be able to print/export specific items of a section.
To my surprise NONE of the task manager applications supports this (Planner, ToDo, Trello, … they dont have this either)! O.o

Please add a “print/export” option to the dropdown menus of the section as well as individual items.

further Print settings:

• description yes/no
• subtasks yes/no
• comments yes/no
• images yes/no
• one page per item yes/no

Printing the attached images is critical for me when I hand this out to a technician.

Workflow:

1. section → dropdown menu → print
2. choose between “all” and “select items” → select which items to print
3. print options, select what information should get printed
4. print

Welcome, @Christian_Holzer,

Until/if Asana provides this natively, you can use Asana2Go (disclaimer: I’m the creator) to help with some of these needs (but no Comments or Attachments).

Join over 10k other Asana folks who use Asana2Go - free for all private and most commercial use

You’ll be surprised at the variety of things you can do with Asana2Go, a multi-purpose tool to flexibly copy, export and print from Asana (disclaimer: I’m the creator): Interactive tables Responsive list view, multi-column sorts, ascending/descending, hide/show 20+ columns, filter-as-you-type, etc. Instant Slide Presentations Just from your existing Asana tasks/subsections/subtasks including automatic slide builds/transitions, full presentation view navigation, cursor, even speaker notes Work …

Thanks,

Larry

but no Comments or Attachments

Sadly the ability to print the entire task including the attached images is essential. If Asana adds this then i will switch to it in an instant as it will make my live a lot easier.

See previous issue that was resolved.

Printing Tasks is not including Images / Pictures

We used to be able to print (archive-save to pdf.) our tasks with our images/pictures that were uploaded with the task. Now no matter what I do now, it will not print the images/pictures with the task. Is this another fabulous update or user error on my part?

Per this post, printing of tasks to pdf should include images. I have tested this several times in several projects and it is not working.

This is used when using Asana for meetings, task, etc. and impacts usability.

New issue opened: Request #821397

Can you tell us anything on this important bug? The inability to archive/ save the task as a PDF with the pictures attached (printed as viewed in the task) reduces the efficiency and usability

Why is there no timeline print option available to have a hard copy version for clients and in-house, etc? This seems like a very basic project management requirement. Is this on Asana’s todo list, as I can see the complaints for this date back several years and it may mean us needing to move PM systems.

Hi Larry, are there any instructions on using this, I’ve added the app but have not been able to export the full project list. Thanks.

Welcome, @Rachel_Holland,

In the post you’re replying to, there are linked instructions to articles, videos, and the Asana2Go website.

When you run Asana2Go, there’s a Help link with extensive in-app help.

If you’re writing a custom format there’s a Helpers tab with extensive in-app documentation of the Asana API and augmented fields.

If you still need help, please contact me describing what you want to do, what you tried, what you expected, and what happened.

Thanks,

Larry

Hello everyone! Is there a reasonable way to print a task including attachments as a PDF?
I have tried Asana2Go, but it is not usable.
Currently, either certain images are not printed, or only half of other images are printed. And every printout looks different in principle.
Even if I insert the images into the description using a table, the result doesn’t really improve.
Depending on the update, certain additional information is printed and then again not.
Best regards Christian

@Chris_Sprung,

Given the behavior you cite, I recommend:

Try these troubleshooting steps, then please create a support ticket: see How to contact our Support Team.

Re your mention of Asana2Go (disclaimer: I’m the creator): Asana2Go doesn’t support Attachments, but does give access to nearly all other task metadata. It’s “unusable” for your needs, but not “unusable” to 12k other folks, just to be clear for others reading.

Thanks,

Larry

Just had a print problem that I was able to solve in 10 minutes by downloading Asana2Go. Thanks all!!!

Great to hear, @CC_Summers; thanks for posting!

A strange thing i found out about asana is that i don’t have a print attachment from tasks button. I can view them and use Ctrl+P in chrome but is show 600+ pages for some reason even though there are only 2 attachments. There is no native button for to print and i was wondering why. Alot of workarounds like holding down Ctrl+Click on the PDF file and it opens in new tab but that is just extra clicks that cannot be done on phones or touch screen devices. I tried Asana2Go but it’s not working.

Is there any fix for this? Big task managements suffer because of this
