Asana Dashboard Updates

English Forum Tips and Tricks
1

I would love to hear from Asana about any planned updates to the dashboard functionality. I am using Asana for prospect tracking. The Kanban board view is super useful, and the customized fields are adequate to our needs. The dashboard, however, is sorely lacking. As I look through these forums, I see countless requests for dashboard updates but very few release notes mention any updates to the dashboards. Here are a few things in particular that are really important for me:

  • Global filter for all dashboard widgets, e.g. a date range widget so I can do monthly reports without updating each widget individually
  • Custom sorting within a widget, e.g. descending sort order for bar charts
  • Enhanced calculations in widgets. I can define a widget to show my total closed prospects. And I can define a widget to show the total number of lost prospects. But I can’t define a widget to show my win percentage.
  • Show all custom fields in widget dropdown. I have 33 custom fields in my project, but when I go to create a widget, I can’t see all of them in the dropdown selector. I have to reorder the fields in the custom fields list (which changes the sidebar view) in order to access them in the widget dropdown.

I’m sure there are more dashboard feature requests out there, so feel free to add them.

I would love to hear from the Asana team if they have any updates to dashboards on their product roadmap.

Hi @Mark_Logan , welcome to the forum :waving_hand:

It’s forum policy to keep to one feedback per thread so it’s clear what people are voting for. As such, I have moved your thread to the English Forum > Tips and Tricks category instead.

To be fair, there have been several updates to dashboards in the past year such as Stacked and Grouped bar charts as well as the recent addition of multiple metrics.

You will find existing threads on your first two bullet points that you can vote on.

This may have to do in the way you architect your fields and project, or not.

This dropdown is a truncated list. It’s actually a searchbox where you can type to search for fields not listed. I appreciate your workaround though!

If you require more advanced dashboards there is the native PowerBI integration as well as other 3rd party tools such as https://screenful.com/
