I work with 7 client orgs & each has a number of projects going on — both ongoing work like newsletters, social media work, & website updates, and individual events like webinars and conferences. I’d like to be able to star key items for each client and then have a hierarchy like this in my sidebar (for both Starred items and Projects):
Starred
Client One
Project 1A
Project 1D
Saved search 1A
Form 1A
Client Two
Portfolio 2
Project 2C
Saved search 2D
Saved search 2E
Projects
Client One
Project 1A
Project 1B
etc.
Ideally these sections would be collapsible so that I can fold them up & reduce clutter & overwhelm.
At the moment you can toggle between accounts in the top right corner, but that’s it. Honestly, because this would only serve .01% of the users (consultants like us) I don’t expect Asana to do anything, but we never know
As my company embraces Asana more and more, it can get difficult to navigate through my Favorite projects. I would like to organise my favorites into sections or categories, such as: Team 1:1s, Current Projects, OKRs, etc, so I can quickly switch between projects and portfolios more easily.
Ideally, I would also like to be able to expand and collapse each section as needed, like I can do with my Teams.
Thanks for sharing this feedback with us, @MarcGarcia! As a workaround, to be able to create sections in your Favorite bar, you can create a fake project called “------Current Projects------” and mark it as favorite. This project will appear in your favorites and you will be able to move projects under this section to separate from the others.
Thank you @Emily_Roman, that’s a very useful workaround. I would love to see a native implementation though, but in the meanwhile, I will give it a try!
It would be great if there could be a way to build out additional organization under the Favorites list on the sidebar such as the option to create sublists/groups to organize the projects listed within the favorites list. I’m frequently using the favorites section more often than actually searching for projects but as a result, I end up with many projects favored and it would be nice to have a way to organize those projects such as by team, topic, etc.
Welcome to the Asana Community Forum @Sarah_Eldeeb
I have merged your request into an existing one, don‘t forget upvoting One idea on how you can organize things a bit more is mentioned here.
This is a big need for me as well! My organization grew and now I have so many favorites I can’t find anything. I wish I could pair it down, but I have over 130 active projects, so it’s all already portfolios.
I would like to see the ability to customize the sidebar to include my own groups/sections, similar to how Slack gives you the ability to create sections. This would allow me to group my starred projects/tasks/dashboards/etc into sections to better organize my work and find things faster. Right now, I can only sort my Starred items alphabetically or manually, but it’s still just a long list of items once opened.
