I am the admin for my org. i’d like to be able to see each team member’s assigned tasks (their “My Tasks” screen) and then re-order them according to our business needs by dragging and dropping to an appropriate order. I do this all the time for my own tasks in my “My Tasks” screen, but want to be able to do the same for all members of my org. I know i could log out of my account and then log in under theirs to access their “My Tasks” screen, but am hoping there is a way to do this from my own account as Admin. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I just checked and I think you actually can. Search for someone using the search field and you’ll have access to their “My Tasks” view with all the tasks you are allowed to see. And you can change the order.
Personal note: having someone touch my “My Tasks” would make me crazy but I never had a manager in Asana
Are you sure you were able to actually drag and drop their tasks into a new order? When I run that search I can see all their tasks but am not able to drag and drop and re-order them.
Just did with my wife Careful: I am not “searching” for their tasks, I am searching for them as a user, click on the user, and then see their “My Tasks”
got it! works perfect. thank you!!
Hi there – Is this feature still available? I have used this countless times over the years but just tried it in multiple browsers and it is not working. I’ve tried in multiple browsers with the task lists of multiple people on my team. I can grab a task but when I try to drop it into a different order, it just springs back to its original location.
Was this feature removed? Or moved to a premium tier?
@Michael_Magnuson usually that’s because you have a sort enabled.
@Bastien_Siebman Thanks so much for your reply. You’re right that I did have a sort enabled, however it wasn’t something I enabled by choice and I don’t seem to have an option to disenable it. My sort drop-down has two options: by Date, or by Project. The latter only allows me to move tasks from one project to another, which is something totally different as you know. And the former doesn’t allow me to rearrange them at all. There doesn’t seem to be a way to disable the sorting or choose any kind of manual sorting option. I just tried this in multiple browsers (both on Mac), but had no luck. Am I missing something?
This is no longer possible; Asana introduced a new membership system for My Tasks last year which lets users see others’ My Tasks but not reorder others’ tasks; see:
The philosophy here, as Asana explained it at the time, is that one’s My Tasks should be “owned” by that person and they should have control over the order of their own My Tasks.
@Phil_Seeman Thank you very much for clarifying that! I will submit a request to the key team members to manage their tasks.
