Link to saved searches on teampages

Saved searches are great to find what you need quickly. The problem is that it the starred section quickly overflows.

We now put saved searches - starred by one user - on the team page under resources. You can not ad them as an Asana link but you can add them as a regular link.

Another advantage is that you share saved searches with the team.

What’s wrong with adding a regular link? You could name it using format [link name](https://link.location) or select text and hit ctrl+k)

You can add :mag: to the link name to indicate it is a search.

I think making it an Asana object might be tricky to implement, as the same link (which is effectively a search query rather than a reference to an named object in Asana) will have different names for different people, depending on how they save it. So adding the link cannot automatically display the name as it does with other objects that actually have the same name for everyone.

So in effect, adding a named hyperlink is practically the same as what you’re doing when starring a search, which is giving a name to a hyperlink that acts as a search query.

Hi @Jan-Rienk What is wrong, is that you need to save your search in order to keep all parameters of the search.

You are right. Tested this with and in:projectname doesn’t seem to persist when using the link. That sounds like a bug.

If it may be a bug, I hope @Herve_Buisset or @Jan-Rienk might report to Support so it can be addressed.

Thanks,

Larry

@lpb @Herve_Buisset Ok I’ll bite.

I’ve submitted a support ticket and will circle back here when I have news.

Thanks @Jan-Rienk It was in “My Tasks” to do this, but so were many others …

I know the feeling :laughing:

@Jan-Rienk - Just FYI – a saved search can’t have different names for different people. If one person updates the name, OR the default view (list vs calendar), OR the sort preferences – all of those affect all users using that saved search.

@Bryan_TeamKickstart if you change it, it becomes a different search as I understand it. You can save a new copy, not update an existing save, right?

@Jan-Rienk - actually, weirdly, no – changing the filters changes the search, but changing the name, the sort, or the view preference, all stays the same search and changes those settings for everyone who uses that saved search.
