Hello Daniel. Thank you very much for your feedback. While we are still in the process of including an organizational calendar template in Asana, here is a step-by-step guide for you to customize your own org calendar template:
Step 1: Get Your Project Started
• Click the + Create button in the top bar
• Select Project
• Choose Blank project (or check if there’s an event planning template that works)
• Give it a clear name like “2025 Org Calendar” or “Company Events Calendar”
• Pick your team and set it to public (unless you need it private)
• Select Calendar as your main view to start
• Hit Create project
Step 2: Build Your Structure with Sections
• Create sections to organize your events - think about how your org is divided
• Try sections like:
- “Marketing Division Events”
- “Operations & Finance”
- “HR & People Events”
- “Executive/Leadership”
• You can always add more sections later as you think of them
Step 3: Set Up Custom Fields (This is Key!)
• Click Customize in the top-right corner
• Go to Fields and click + Add
• Create these helpful custom fields:
- Division (dropdown): Marketing, Operations, HR, etc.
- Event Type (dropdown): Training, Meeting, Deadline, Launch, etc.
- Priority (dropdown): High, Medium, Low
- Status (dropdown): Planning, Confirmed, In Progress, Complete
- Location (text field): For venue/meeting room info
Step 4: Add Your Events as Tasks
• Start adding tasks for each important date or event
• Give each task a clear name and description
• Set due dates so they show up properly in calendar view
• Fill in your custom fields for each event
• Add any relevant attachments or links in the task description
Step 5: Test Your Different Views
• Switch between views to see how your calendar looks:
- Calendar view: Perfect for seeing everything by date
- List view: Great for detailed planning with all your custom fields visible
- Timeline view: Shows how events relate to each other over time
• Adjust sections and custom fields based on what you see
Step 6: Save It as a Template
• Once you’re happy with the setup, click the dropdown arrow next to your project name
• Select Save as template
• Name it something like “Annual Org Calendar Template”
• Set sharing permissions for your team
• Click Create a new template
I hope this helps. But if you’re looking for a specific gallery template, I can pass that feedback on to the team. You can also add your vote here so others can chime in: Product Feedback - Asana Forum
Thank you very much, and Happy New Year!
