@J_Garcia and @Stan_Berezovsky, In case you werenāt aware, Asana has confirmed this feature will be coming as mentioned earlier in this thread and here:
I am throwing in my 2 cents on this as well. This is another of task functionality that is needed. One of my prime decision criteria for Asana was for the ability to use it for task as well as project management. Please consider this feature.
Yes! Would absolutely love collapsable sections. I have dozens of sections and hundreds of tasks! Please make it happen Asana! I hear itās in the works, but any idea on a timeline?
Agreed. People managing lots of groups and activities need to be able to focus their attention and look at segments of their workload and flow at different times. Not all at once, every time they touch Asana.
When Iām meeting with people A, B and C, today I know weāll want to dive into topics F, G, and H, portions of J, and maybe L as well, and do not want to have to wade through AA, BB, CC, DD,EEā¦ZZ Actually this is a much bigger issue that is not fully addressed by Expand/Collapse, but at least Expand/Collapse provides some way to filter or segment the view.
One of the biggest challenges in getting people to look at Asana data as a group, or by themselves, is that thereās just so much data possible (we are a busy group like pretty much everyone) and there is minimal tolerance for being presented irrelevant data even ONCE, let alone again and again and againā¦
Also needed: being able to collapse multiple copies of the same task. This is much needed!
When in Project view, with 15 team members being assigned the same task, it makes everything feel way more overwhelming than it needs to and prevents getting a quicker view of the big picture.
Asana folks on this thread ā if you are adding ācollapseā functionality to sections, can you also add it for task copies, so project managers can have an option to see one of each task they have out, not dozens of task multiples? Can you comment on whether there is anything in motion around this?
Hi @Umesh - Welcome to the forum - Just in case you havenāt already- you need to make sure you add your vote at the top of the post or it wonāt count
This feature has been requested and upvoted hundreds of times over many years. It would literally take any competent front-end developer less than an hour to implement. Why hasnāt Asana done this yet?
I am finding that tasks under some sections collapse on their own, while others are expanded and that I have no control over either. Any guidance on how to create uniformity?
So it would be really great to be able to expand/collapse sections - even without the summary features folks are suggesting (though the combination would be the most helpful so thank you to those who have submitted those ideas!). I have voted accordingly.
Also, it appears that @Joe_Franscella has some collapse/expand features, any clue what is going on with that challenge regarding random tasks expanding/collapsing and how their stuff has some of that feature but the rest of us donāt (yet, Iām hoping)?
Iām new to Asana and was going through some of the online tutorials and I swore that several of the screenshots in the tutorials had expand/collapse arrows next to the Section headers, but it looks like that was only in the āMy Tasksā screen. Is that correct?
If we can expand/collapse Tasks in the My Tasks view, why canāt we do that within the projects? Iām not a developer so I donāt know how hard this is to implement but it seems like a popular request.
Thank you and hereās hoping the expand/collapse sections feature of the overall update going on is available soon!
Any timeline on this? My team is wanting to consider other products that have this feature, but I could keep us on Asana if I knew when it would be coming!
