Project Folders (sub-teams)

I’d like the ability to organize my projects into folders on the left pane. I have multiple projects and the organization is getting out of hand. Thank You!

I still believe an equally good method would be how Evernote handles “Stacks”. https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208314158-How-to-organize-notebooks-into-stacks

If you drag a notebook unto another notebook it creates a Stack that you can name. No folder necessary, just a good way to have the equivalent.

I concur that this would be more than suitable assuming they are collapsible like in evernote. Just anything to visually organize the projects would be wonderful.

Would love to see folders added so I can organize the many projects in my asana team!

How about creating more teams?

for instance:

Marketing: Search
Marketing: Display
Marketing: CRM

If you use the department name of the original team, you still have an overview but you also have not to many projects per team.

What I can also recommend for smaller projects: Have them as a task, and all former tasks will be sub-tasks.
It has also the advantage, that you can multi-home this smaller project.

On that specific matter, Wrike is better, it would be great if the Asana team could get inspired by their fluid folder/share system. Please ! :grinning:

I really need this feature! I handle a lot of project (100+ and growing) and every project has a lot of tasks (100+). The tasks all have a couple of subtasks…

Since the projects move through different stages, I would love to have a folder feature introduced in Asana to sort them better!

Teams are one way to solve this but not in the long run…

Is it possible to “folderize” the projects section, or/and the favorites section?

Nope. The structure above projects is Teams, so maybe you can use Teams as a “folder”…

Hey Rashad Issa,
Please see answer in your e-mail

Hi

An idea to “folderize” a bit the projects into a team could be to create “false” projects with names like "---- Type A of projects —, “----Type B of projects—” …
I use that, it is not ideal but it works. Those “false” projects do not have any tasks, they just create some kind of sections in the left pane. With signs like ----- or ***** or >>>>> you can make them more visible.

Is there a way to see a sum of all projects for a team?

I use this exact method that Julien describes and it works very well. If there are no tasks in your false projects (as there shouldn’t be), they will not clutter up any searches or sorts. Also, remember you can reorder projects in the left pane by dragging, even though the UI doesn’t really indicate that. So once you’ve created your section headers, you can arrange everything how you want it.

Hello Brian,

The left pane is a bit cumbersome to see all the projects, is there no nice summary page of all the projects (listed or otherwise, like the nice way tasks are seen)?

You were very clear and precise.
I do not understand how the ASANA team are working without this management feature-
It seems quite trivial to do in the basics of the design of the interface.

Actually this feature is what makes my company think twice if we will upgrade the account…

As I understand they did not pick up the glove… Any news you know on updates?

BR,
Thanks!
