List View Sections Should Show Number of Tasks When Collapsed

It is very easy to overlook tasks if they aren’t assigned and hidden in a collapsed section in list view. it would be nice to see a number of incomplete tasks when the number is > 0 next to the section title when it is collapsed.

Show task count at the group/sub-group level (when expended AND collapsed) & freeze group headers when scrolling in List view

Welcome @Mark_Tenney and thanks for sharing this great feedback! Collapsable Sections are still very new so hopefully this is something we can implement in a future update! I’ll keep you posted in this thread as soon as I have an update!

Hi, I just wanted to chime in here and say that this would be so useful! Bonus points if it broke down how many were overdue.

For example:

Section 1 (3 tasks, 2 overdue)
Section 2 (6 tasks)
Section 3 (12 tasks, 1 overdue)
etc.

I primarily use this in ‘My Tasks’ and as I have a heap of tasks, I like to collapse the sections to make it easier to focus on what I’m currently working on, but it means I risk missing things unless I expand them all and check them.

Yes, please. Even if it’s just a count of items. For instance, sections one and three have items, section two is empty.

Section One (5)
Section Two
Section Three (6)

This feature is available in the IOS app, why wouldn’t it be available in the desktop version?
SOOOO frustrating, luckily I’ve not gotten too deep in Asana and I can look for another program that already has this feature.

Currently Issues while looking at tasks within a project in a List view:

  1. Unless you have the “Show row count” setting turned on (not the default) users would have to count line-by-line to know how many tasks are contained within each group/sub-group—and even with that setting turned on you must expand the group then scroll to see the highest number (not possible to know from a glance when groups are collapsed how many tasks are in them.)
  2. When groups and sub-groups extend beyond the height of the screen, it is easy to lose context of which group/sub-group you are currently viewing, since the header scrolls up and out of sight once you’ve scrolled down far enough.

Proposed Solutions

  1. Include at task count at the group/sub-group levels in list view, regardless of whether the group/sub-group is expanded or collapsed.
  2. Freeze the group/sub-group headers when scrolling to preserve context for the user, regardless of how long the list of tasks within a group is.

Note: there should also be a sum at the top indicating how many unique tasks are included in the current view.

I don’t love when suggestions get merged into existing posts that aren’t exactly the same thing.

Is this what happens when reward points are offered?
