New! Emojis in project saved views tabs

[Bastien_Siebman]

Hi Community,

Emojis have a special place in my heart so I am excited to have the opportunity to share this new feature with you all.

Originally, each tab in a project would have static default icons based on the layout type.

On August 29th, all Asana users will be able to spice things up with custom emojis: simply start the tab name with an emoji of your choice, it will automatically become the tab icon.

Reminder: on Mac OS you can use Ctrl+Cmd+Space to get an emoji keyboard, on PC it is Window+;!

Here is the little trick to get an emoji keyboard almost anywhere: Ctrl+Cmd+Space on Mac OS, and Windows+. on Windows (or right click, and …

Emojis are awesome. They are fun, they are colorful, and they emphasize content. I explain in this video my love for emojis! [Use emojis in Asana] And you, are you an emoji lover or not?

Use emojis to triage My Tasks

If you have been following me for a while, you know that I love emojis. They aren’t just fun, they have a real purpose in my case, especially within Asana. Our account holds some specific tasks with their emojis counterpart: for sessions for clients for quotes for invoices for expenses We don’t have any exceptions to these rules.

[Bastien_Siebman]

You can’t rename tabs in My Tasks so not yet indeed.

would be nice to use an emoji as the Project icon too please. Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work. For example Veg Garden project if a Carrot Emoji Icon.

Hello @Matthew5,

this is possible for Enterprise accounts, see here.
Alternatively you can always add an emoji in the project name.
