Hi! I was hoping Asana can generate unique job numbers for projects, not tasks. I need a unique job ticketing system at the project level to marry up with our folder saving structure. Please help! ---

Welcome to the Forum @anon92011474 and thank you for reaching out! Sincere apologies here but I’m not completely sure to understand your question. Would you mind giving us more context or perhaps providing an example? P.S.: Could this be what you are looking for? [Project number - #2 by Blake\_Smith](https://forum.asana.com/t/project-number/72917/2). If yes, I would encourage you to cast your vote and comment to the thread. Looking forward to your reply Sam! ---

Thank you Natalia, Yes, that thread was exactly what I was after. Please forward this feedback to your team: We are looking at upgrading our systems and we all love Asana except for this one MAJOR missing feature - project numbers!!! This is such a no-brainer and an essential component. Unfortunately we’ll have to look elsewhere if this feature is not either imminent or in the pipeline. Cheers, _Samantha Halpern_ ---

Thank you for your feedback @anon92011474! I completely understand your point! I’ll make sure to pass it onto our Product Team and Engineers. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with! ---

We, like ALL agencies, need to track time spent on each project and task. We NEED a unique identifier (code) for each project (i.e. TK0013 - TK being the initial of the Project) and Task (i.e. TK0013-2) to track this effectively across Harvest and Xero. How is this not a thing?! It’s a major and something that will set Asana apart from Monday .com (they are catching up fast). ---

Looking to implement an intelligent or non-intelligent job numbering identifier in Asana (much like how Wrike offers this). What’s the status? Is there an offering or integration yet? ---

Hello, Has this been fixed? we currently use Function Fox which generates a new Number for each job/task (eg P1234) We use this on all client comms and invoices as a job identifier. Multiple people can log jobs on Function Fox and it always generates unique P numbers. This is something we would 100% need if considering a move. H ---

Does anyone actually have a solution on how to easily /best handle this until Asana build this functionality ? ---

Background - I lead DesignOps for our internal design team. We have multiple brands/groups that we support so we have multiple job codes. Job code system: Brand abbreviation Job Number i.e DX0001, RA0001, etc Our team current has a dedicated traffic manager/project manager who will create the job #'s for our department to ensure accuracy and no duplicates. High-level flow. 1. Our marketing team submits our request forms and based on the brand selected, the request form automatically assigns out to the dedicated project manager. 2. The PM reviews the brief and will create the project board using our Project Templates to kickoff the project 3.Within a Project Template, we have the task to “Create the job number and dropbox folder” automatically assigned to the traffic manager. 3. Based on the brief provided, the traffic manager is able to tell which brand the project is request for and will assign out the job # with the provided project name. Traffic manager updates the project board and provides the created dropbox folder link with the associated job#/name. 4. The job# and name is used throughout all project folders and file naming conventions 5. PM manages board until projects complete. This works well for us but is a pretty manual step, could be more painful for smaller teams. Would love an automated feature in Asana where you can determine which naming conventions to used based on certain Rules/triggers and automatically create numerical job #s from there. Hope this helps! ---

After using Asana for years, we are considering moving. One major reason is the lack of project numbers. Our current workaround is to keep a task in our intake project that includes the last project number we assigned. For new projects we update that number and then copy and paste it at the end of the task name. Its so painful. PLEASE, add this functionality - ASAP. ---

I recommend upvoting here: > [@Project number](https://forum.asana.com/t/project-number/72917): > > On our company as many others I know use project number as the main way to identify them. This make it easier and shorter on each communication. The name is just a description. Following this, I would like to see a project number that connects all the items in it. Here is the problem now, if you go to calendar on the company team it is impossible to know from which project is the task unless you go in. Yes you have colors but is not enough. If you use a project number, this could be in from … ---

Our organization is new to Asana. I’m blown away that Asana cannot autogenerate job numbers. That’s a basic requirement in order to manage projects. By the end of the year we have hundreds of projects. ---
