How to have a list of customers and associate them with Tasks?

[Piero2]

Hello everyone
I would like to use Asana to track tasks I do for my clients (customer company).
I would like a simple board in which I create tasks and associate them with the customer.
In this way I can know how much work I do for each client and measure the time I spend.
I just can’t create a customer list (about 600 but could increase).
Also it would be nice to be able to import the list from an excel or CSV file.
How can I organize?

Hi Piero,

I would recommend having a project for each client so you can manage the tasks within in Client themselves. Or you could have a single select custom field for each client however it can only can have up to 500 field value options.

Also it would be nice to be able to import the list from an excel or CSV file.

You can do this with the CSV Importer in Asana by first creating a single-select custom field (limit 500 options) and mapping that customer name column to it:
