Yes we do the same! I wondered why we were never using the overview page on the hundereds of projects we have, so I tried to see how that would work for our projects.

Result: It’s not very flexible…

  1. We dont need the goals every time and it would free up the space (we do track them but many of our projects are not related to goals)

  2. I was excited to see key resources, but the links and attachments are buried there should be flexible boxes to add things that you can name for example: What would we put in them?

Here are some examples:
Custom Box Example 1 - Final Art: where you can insert link
Custom Box example 2 - Text field that has all the hotel and flight information for a tradeshow trip - we use it for company travel a lot.
Custom Box Example 3 - Image of our inspiration for a design project OR the latest version of a design! That would be fabulous!

Thanks for weighing in Rashad, I love ASANA but I also see this as a huge blind spot, we never use the overview page and we have thousands of projects! But, it but it COULD be great!

Really like the project overview tab but would be great if we could reorder the widgets in the overview to put the most used ones at the top.

Or delete the ones we do not use.

Ability to move up or down component/blocks like Key Resources in overview tab … so that team can grab stuff easily. Its buried at the bottom for us. Each project is unique.

I’d love to be able to move the Milestones section up to just after the Project description so these important dates aren’t buried well below the fold under Project roles, Connected goals, Connected portfolios, and Key resources.

Agreed - would also be nice to be able to remove unused sections - we don’t utilize the goals or portfolios, so getting those out of the way would be helpful.

@Olivia_McAuliffe Agreed! I originally had this in my request but deleted it to keep it as small a change as possible (figured at least putting the stuff I don’t care about at the bottom is better than nothing), but yes, hiding (or at least collapsing) sections would be great as well :slight_smile:

@cosmo, I saw a comment from you in another thread (a confusing one!) that there are downsides to merging like this, but it’s done to try to consolidate like requests and hope you understand in this case.

Thanks,

This is crucial for usability of the Project Overview. I’m having trouble getting my team to understand the tab’s (immense!) usefulness because the most important information for us (Milestones and Key Resources) are buried at the bottom. The Project Brief is such a nice thing to have embedded on the Overview tab because it’s printable but it is rendered almost useless where it sits.

It would be great to be able to customize the overview page, deleting sections that aren’t used, or rearranging the different sections.

Make sure to vote yourself :slight_smile:

+1 I like this! And welcome back to the Asana community @Rebecca_Kang I personally wouldn’t want sections deleted, but rather removed with the functionality to bring them back, but to add to what Rebecca has shared being able to re-arrange and put focus on a particular part of the Overview page I can see be very beneficial, in my use cases the Overview page seems to get the least amount of use for the everyday members that are in a project I create.

If the overview page could have widgets similarly to the “Dashboard” tab or even having similar functionality as the Dashboard; rearranging..etc. These are just my thoughts when it comes to thinking about customizing the Overview page! This is great feedback! :nerd_face:
