Only some of my projects show up in workloads under portfolios.

Not sure what I might be missing.

Have you added all your projects?

Only the projects added to the portfolio show up in workload.
If you want to have the workload of all the projects you’re working on, then you have to add all of them into the portfolio.

The projects are in the portfolio but they don’t appear in the workload and I cannot detect any difference. They were all created from the same template. Also when I try to add a project to the portfolio it does not find it. Here’s a link to a screen clip. Dropbox - ASANA no protfolio.JPG - Simplify your life

I am running into the same issue. Did you find a solution?

@Paul_Rayburn did you ever get this solved?

No apologies, I did not continue with Asana.

This is a shame. I am running into the same solution. The whole reason I started looking at Asana was to be able to get a high level view on a timeline (i.e. Roadmap) of what is happening across all projects, and be able to show important tasks (e.g. Production Start Date) and milestones. Microsoft Roadmap would have been ideal, but it is also buggy and does not sync properly with Project for the Web. This is a very basic feature, I don’t know why no one can get it right.

I came across this today. I appear to have different behaviours based on the age of the project. Newer projects seem to be creating the issue to me. Maybe someone like @Bastien_Siebman might be able to shine a light on things for us?

I looked at the screenshot from Paul_Rayburn and don’t get it… @agileTerrier you have the same issue, can’t add a project to a portfolio even if you search for it?

What I saw was that I could add the projects on the list view and see, it. When I remove that project and then switch to the Workload view I can use the editable select view to fine the same project and add it and it looks like it “doesn’t work”.

What I think I found was that it could appear that adding the project was not working if the project had no sense of “dates” , which is logical. I would recommend is to ensure both the project itself and at least one task in the project has a date attached to it. IMO the software is behaving logically, but I think the UX could be better to help the user understand what is occurring.

What’s sure is that the workload view will only show people assigned on tasks with a due date for the given timeframe :person_shrugging:

Having the same problem, except I do have dates assigned to my tasks and points are calculated and showing up correctly. However only some of my projects are not showing up in workload timeline. Although last week all my projects were showing up in workload - but now only some are not.
In the screenshot, you can see multiple projects with points. However two of those Admin and Fundraising are not showing up for that day.

Are you sure those projects are still part of the portfolio?

I’m experiencing this issue. Tasks have effort assigned. New projects added are not calculating in workload. Did anyone get a resolution?

@Andrew_Hartman you are 100% sure that:

  • those tasks have a due date
  • they belong to a project added to the right portfolio
  • they have a value in the effort field
  • the effort field is added to the library and the one used in the portfolio

The last point is usually what the issue is :slight_smile:

I realized that for me, it’s because the projects that don’t show up don’t have milestones with related dates!
