Share Reports (Saved Searches)?

I noticed that if I create a Report or saved search that other users have no ability to see them. They would have to recreate the report manually. It would be nice if saved searches were available to everyone but it was their choice to add it to the Reports bar on the side

You have always a possibility to share report via URL in 3-rd party communication tool, or in project/task/conversation description/comment.

As Asana is a Business-Product, I totaly agree. The URL is more like a workaround than a particular feature for sharing. This is not acceptable.
I consider the posibility to move a Report to a Team as a highly recommended feature, which in Jira, for example is so much better implemented, that I really was shocked when I made my first steps in Asana searching. I am really missing this Feature in Asana, because it makes it even more difficult to help my colleagues find the single pane of glass for a project-overview.

Another possible advance of this approach could be the easy access of customized lists in the mobile App, which still has the lack of more than 1 custom field to Display.

I fully agree with this point.
Your platform becomes incredibly limiting as you don’t have the ability to filter a board by specific tags, and then when you create a report for the team e.g “High Priority bugs to focus on” you cannot share it within Asana.
Yes, I can provide everyone with the URL, BUT BUT BUT!!!
They can see it and they can save it, but then they cannot rename it so it inherits the default name “Search Results”. In order to rename it a staff member must first go back into “Refine Search”, run the actual search and then save it. At that point they can save it and rename it. But what’s the point, they could then just manually create it in the first place.

Another problem is that I have to tell my entire staff base to go create 6 different reports.
Seriously guys, I think it’s time you start closing the gap here as your competitors have these features by default.

Another vote for such a feature! It shouldn’t be too hard to implement, I’d guess.
I want my project team members and co-PMs to have a set of tools available for them to use on their own, rather than me creating reports that point out where they should take action …

Another vote for shared reports! It is disappointing that this feature was omitted in the first place as it would add a great deal of value to the product in our use of it.
URL sharing is not a useful substitute for many reasons. Please push this.

I agree with everything said above.

I just started using saved searches and it has been really useful for me. I tag my engineering tasks wherever they are and can use searches to see different tasks and their status. I decided to share this functionality with my team so they could have greater transparency into my work, but getting everyone to go through the process of setting up searches is too painful.

I’m a bit saddened to see this old feedback still unimplemented. I think it would make the advanced search tool much more practical.

Again, agree with the above. It’s disappointing to find that this still hasn’t been actioned.

HUGE support from me on this. The ability to share reports and especially the ability to move them to a team and share with anyone on the team (and show up in the team dropdown) would be incredible. Absolutely must have!

It’s a vote from me!

We already have global custom fields (awesome) - global saved reports would be a win!

Yes this would be a huge improvement. It doesn’t make sense for everyone to have to create the same report when it should be able to be easily shared with the team.

Yeap this needs to Be implemented and saveable with the teams drop down so you can have filters apply to groups of people.

Just got the question from my team as we’re looking to adopt this and finding out that this isn’t available yet is disappointing. Someday soon?!?!

Agreed. Being able to share reports with users or teams is necessary.

How is this not already available. I am currently evaluating Asana for my team but this is a big turn off and may mean we go elsewhere.

I have implemented Asana now and my manager wants to see some basic reports. I created a few reports and now cannot quickly share them. This should be a quick development fix for Asana! Reports are only going to increase over the period of time, as more and more users would want to report on their data differently and sharing reports is going to be a significant requirement. In the middle of covid-19 I would want to avoid walking to every body’s desk and create this custom filter. Also, I cannot ask my Director and CEO to create a filter on their own. Should be shareable.
