The dozens of request in this thread dating back years was for filter by teams, not by person.

This is awesome, but my real need is for filtering by team. Are you aware of any timeline for a change (or a workaround) on this? Thank you!

Bump! Is there any update on the request for inbox by team?

We haven’t heard anything, and Asana doesn’t officially communicate about the roadmap.

Come on, Asana! Let’s get a filter BY PROJECT…PLEASE!!!

This feature is a game changer for being able to focus and stay up-to-date on notifications from high-priority projects. I would like to be able to keep a filtered inbox view up on my secondary monitor so that I can unblock my team ASAP and also stay focused on my own work.
Have there been any updates on this feature?
It would also be nice to filter out thumbs-up notifications, since those are generally not high impact notifications – is there a feature request tracking that?
This thread will be updated if/when progress has been made.
Yes, you can vote here:
Thanks,

I just found this thread while trying to create a new one.
I was having a slightly different idea that instead of filtering, Asana would group the notifications coming from a similar project, a similar way the comments notifications are grouped in one (instead of one per comment)… if they are received simultaneously.
… I think that’s a nonsense to receive as many notifications coming from the same project as I’m added to tasks as collaborator (or assignee). Especially giving the fact it’s so easy to multi select tasks and assign a member to it.
@Bastien_Siebman @lpb
I’m realizing something
That means that, if I’m not aware of how notifications work, in a few minutes, I could “bomb” hundreds of notifications to a colleague and completely flooding his Inbox (and possibly as many emails if they have email notification activated ?)
Or is there a limit to prevent that risk?

I think that’s the way it is, although:
- I recall certain types of notifications are grouped together in a more compact list of “line items” within a larger parent all in the main Inbox pane. Each line item is selectable, but so is the encompassing parent one able to be archived at once, if I recall. But I can’t recall what circumstance this is for.
- The Expand toolbar option may affect this, though I note you don’t have this toggled on in your screenshot, so that’s not the cause here, though could reduce clutter in some circumstances.
Thanks,
Larry
I believe you are right Arthur, it might indeed happen. When it comes to email, it is easy to multi-select and delete. Within the inbox, you can quickly type “e” many times. But that still isn’t ideal.

I think I’ve retrieved the case you were describing, the tasks are properly grouped (for example, like here, when someone adds multiple tasks to a project).
Thus, it is possible for Asana to do it (grouping things), and I tend to consider my previous example as “almost a bug”.
When I received 40 notifications and 40 emails for simply tagging myself as collaborator of all tasks of a project… it makes no sense, and I tend to understand our clients who are afraid of involving colleagues in their tasks for that exact reason.
Remark: I haven’t found any impact with the “expand” button regarding that case (so far)
And sorry for hijacking this topic, I was just trying to contribute to your cause.
That’s my last message

@Arthur_BEGOU,
Yes, that’s the case I was thinking of; thanks for finding it. Agree on all counts!!

Asana moved the location of the Inbox Filter today to the left, which got me very excited thinking that they added the “From Project” and “From Team” inside the inbox filter menu, but nothing 
.
At least they are making some improvements to the inbox, and hopefully, they will release a solution to this problem soon. My inbox gets flooded daily, and it’s very challenging to sort through. This would drastically help us prioritize what to review first. Please Asana 
Do any of you find the Relevance sorting option useful? For me, in most cases, it’s not relevant at all.

I tried for a while, but the fact that the latest wasn’t at the top was super disturbing for me.
This is not relevant. This is a concept mistake many product designers make: they think you should work the way THEY find useful.
I had the same problem.
@Francesco_Canovi, I totally agree with that. Being a designer myself, I am guilty of that. However, it’s always important to listen to your users and pivot where it makes sense. Given the importance that Inbox notifications play in Asana, it baffles me that they haven’t implemented these two filters yet. We are not asking them to redesign and rebuild the Inbox. The data and UI controls are already there; all they have to do is added these two additional damn filters, for god sake. If they give us the ability to filter by projects and teams, I could care less about the ‘Relevance’ sorting.

Is there any news on this feature? When can we expect inbox filtering by project/team? It would be super useful and save me tons of time, since I am coordinating multiple projects across two teams.

No news so far, Asana will post here when something is in the making/ready.
