Is there a concept of subsections in Asana? If not, does anyone have a suggestion for a workaround? I am using tags to somewhat accomplish this, but hopeful that there is something better. Thanks! ---

Hi @DavidWS, thanks for reaching out! You can currently create Sections in Asana: [“Tab+N” our new shortcut to create Sections](https://forum.asana.com/t/tab-n-our-new-shortcut-to-create-sections/38525). If you are using tags, you can also consider using Custom Fields. You can create a field for stage, priority, cost, or anything else that’s important to your workflow, team, and company. Please find more information in this [Guide article](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/custom-fields). I hope this helps! ---

Hi, thanks for getting back to me, but perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. I am actually asking about creating subsections. I am aware of the use of Sections, but can subsections be created within a Section? Thanks ---

@DavidWS, 1. You can use turn off Sort within Sections and, by sorting by a custom field, your existing sections will become second-level groupings: > [@Ability to add sub-sections](https://forum.asana.com/t/ability-to-add-sub-sections/16517/18): > > @Darin_Bellisario, @Bastien_Siebman, Maybe you have “Sort within Section” (at the bottom of the Sort menu) turned on? That gives you only one level–the group sort. Turn that off and you get two levels: 1) group, 2) section. I just touted this a couple days ago to a major client org so I certainly hope this isn’t changing! Larry 1. I sometimes use === ALL CAPS === sections which appear like level 1 sections, and then regular Initial Caps sections which appear like level 2 sections. (This is a hack!) 2. I don’t think it’s what you’re looking for, but in case you weren’t aware, you can also add Sections within tasks (which most call “Subsections”) in order to break up subtasks: > [@How can I add own "subsection" as organisation for subtasks in a task???](https://forum.asana.com/t/how-can-i-add-own-subsection-as-organisation-for-subtasks-in-a-task/75766/2): > > @Jakub_Dvorak, It’s certainly not obvious how to do this, but the trick is to open the Task Detail pane or the task in which you want to add the Subsection. Then click on one of its subtasks (if there are none, click Add subtask first). Then do Tab+N there. Larry Hope that helps, Larry ---
