Use cases for the new Saved view

For a long time in Asana, you couldn’t change the tabs at the top of a project. You were stuck with List-Board-Calendar…

This is not the case anymore! You can finally customize those tabs, add new ones, remove existing ones, rename them… And you can decide on sorts and filters and save them.

At iDO, we started using them right away and came up with a few use cases which might inspire you:

  1. create a tab to only see elements to treat (elements in a “triage” section or with a specific status)
  2. create a tab to only see tasks assigned to you (or the current user using “Dynamic me” as a filter)
  3. create a tab to only see tasks for your team or department
  4. have a tab with a Timeline sorted by Start date and another one without a sort to see the swim lanes
  5. have a tab with a Calendar view with only top priority tasks
  6. create a tab which hides completed work or only shows completed work
  7. create a tab to see latest tasks added at the top
  8. create a tab for each type of task you have

I believe there is no excuse anymore: each project should have a customized list of tabs!

Can these customized tabs be set as a default for projects?

Yes, click on the tab, then the menu item:

Thanks, but I wanted to know if the customized extra tabs/views could be applied to all my projects. I do have the List view as my default.

You could duplicate from a “model” project and get them that way, but otherwise there’s no facility for a default like that.

Thanks,
