Read only links for Portfolios

[Ronny_Lion]

We are moving to Asana to have a better group view on the project portfolio of each individual company.

Our IT managers are maintaining their project portfolio and it would be nice to able to export the portfolio in kind of PDF format, so it can be pasted in PowerPoint presentations to management or on the digital workplace environment to inform our end users.

When you export a portfolio to Excel CSV format, you still have lot of work to make it presentable.

Now the workarround is to make several screenshots and paste these in the PowerPoint.

Hi @Ronny_Lion, thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback!

I recommend taking a look at Portfolio read-only links:

New: Share projects with read-only links!

Hey there! I’m Eileen, a Product Marketing Manager at Asana. I wanted to share the great news that timelines and calendars of public projects can now be shared with cross-functional partners using read-only links! The read-only link is dynamic - it will always reflect the latest updates to the project and provide a living source of truth for cross-functional teams, even non-Asana users, to stay aligned. Creating a read-only link is simple. Select “Create Link” in the upper right hand corner of…

You might find this achieves what you’re looking for!

Where is the read only link in portfolios? I do not see this in any of my instances or my clients.

That link is to a feature that is 50% rolled out and looks to be paused.

I believe @Rebecca_McGrath was talking about project links, not portfolios

[Rebecca_McGrath]

@Bastien_Siebman is correct, apologies for this @Getz_Pro and @Ronny_Lion!

I’ve gone ahead and moved your thread to the #productfeedback category to give other user the opportunity to vote for read-only portfolios links!

Ok, projects then. Still don’t have this. Has this stalled?

Hi @Ronny_Lion

I agree, the export options for portfolio data are lacking. I have to present project status to stakeholders outside of Asana often. The easiest option I’ve found is to create a dashboard, within the reporting function. (FYI only available in premium or higher).

You can create custom charts, based on specific fields and filters. Portfolios can be selected as a filter, and you can extract overview data from there (ie: assignee, due date, etc.). Then you can download an image of the chart and pop that into a presentation slide.

I hope this is helpful… good luck!
