Hi Asana community!
I’m Richard, an Asana Forum Leader and Asana Solutions Partner, here to share Asana’s latest update
With a background in Architecture, I’m a super-visual person. So when Asana launched Dashboards way back in Sep 2020, I was over the moon! But I soon realised one thing - stacked bar charts were missing.
Well, the wait is finally over and I’m thrilled to announce that Stacked bar charts are coming soon to all your dashboards in Asana, including Projects, Portfolios and Universal Reporting!
This new chart style opens the door to more options for you to represent your data, essentially adding a ‘3rd layer’, beyond the X & Y axis of a Bar chart; the new ‘Group by’ option allows for splitting the Y axis of your bars into segments, either based on your own custom fields or native fields such as Assignee or Task status.
This feature will allow you to compare multiple datasets simultaneously, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions more efficiently.
Q&A:
-
Where can I use the Stacked bar chart?: The stacked bar chart can be used in Dashboards within Projects, Portfolios and Universal Reporting (under Insights).
-
What happens when I hover my mouse over a segment of a bar?: You will see a list of all Group by options, with the one you hover over, indicated in bold.
- What happens when I click on a segment of a bar?: As with all other charts, you will be taken to the search results, listing the items within the segment of the stacked bar that you just clicked on.
Let us know if you have any other questions in the comments below!
Please note, this update is being gradually rolled out and it will be available to customers on legacy Business, Advanced, Enterprise and Enterprise+ plans soon.
