I’d like to pause or put on hold my project because of Covid. I understand I can update the Project status to On HOLD (in the portfolio view) or archive the project, however, the tasks in the project still appear in my colleague’s My Tasks section. So my request is:
Once the project is archived or with status “On Hold”, the tasks will be on hold and not appearing in the assignee’s My Tasks (or maybe moved to an On Hold section of My Tasks) so that people aren’t reminded about them anymore.
Can the On Hold status be updated directly within the project’s Overview instead of within Portfolio? It’s inconvenient to go to Portfolio, add the project just so that we can update the status to On Hold.
Make sure to vote on this thread. I have only seen one vote so either you or Lan might have forgotten to vote
Nevertheless the Asana team not only monitors how many votes a feedback request thread has but also how many views
I have also found a similar thread you might be interesting upvoting: Establish A Pause Feature
Hello,
Has this feature been successfully implemented yet? I see it was requested in March so I imagine so, but am still new to Asana. If not, is there an alternative way to hide batches of tasks from the same project to get the same result in the meantime?
Hello, an upvote from me. Having project tasks that are on hold appear in the Portfolio Workload view makes this view useless and scheduling near impossible.
I was just searching for instructions on how to do this exact thing, but I guess I’ll stop looking. I have added my upvote to this request - hugely valuable and removes confusion/frustration of tasks showing as “overdue” when the entire project is on hold. I don’t want to remove my timelines for tasks because they show the anticipated duration of tasks, which will support rescheduling deadlines once the project is taken off hold.
Welcome to the Forum @Stacey_Wieland! Thank you for adding to the conversation around this feature request. If you haven’t already done so, remember to upvote at the top of this thread.
I’ll add one more function that this feature could have - the ability to add time to a project with a blanket approach, extending all established dates by a specified interval.
So for example, if I put a project in “on hold” status, the deadlines would remain as set but would no longer appear on the task lists of assignees and not show as overdue. Then, say after 4 weeks, when the project is ready to be reactivated, we can say “add 4 weeks” and all of the timelines associated with individual tasks and the overall project would be pushed out by the specified 4 weeks.
This would maintain the anticipated duration of tasks and the critical path without needing to update the deadline of every single individual task and subtask in the project.
Hi everyone, is this feature available now, I can see it as an option but I have no idea if it will actually remove the tasks and place the project on hold for the user? Thanks @Rebecca_McGrath@Andrea_Mayer
