View historical user activity

That is why Asana to me rates between 2-3 stars evaluation, not 4-5. When clients ask for details on each task, there is now easy why to extract comments that are made, without spendingmore time on than, than your actual work, reudcing your hourly rate signiftiantly on clients that need good documentation. In basecamp I could create the in a couple minutes :frowning:

This is more than an inconvenience, it’s a genuine problem. It’s poor design leading to diminished user experience. I do hope Asana will address this problem as soon as possible.

+1 for this feature. This is one of the biggest differentiation and why we used JIRA for so long.

I can’t view this link you shared: Log in - Asana

Was it moved, or maybe released?

@Adam_Vatterott,

Unfortunately that link is specific to @Jon_Sasala’s Asana account, it won’t be accessible to anyone outside his account access.

Oh, sorry. I pasted the wrong link. That was supposed to link to the feature request I added here, not to my asana portal.

Great memory @Jon_Sasala! :slight_smile:

Hi Marie, I’m relatively new here however I’m really troubled by the fact that this is not a feature within Asana. My reply comes in over 2 years since the original post. Can you advise if there has been any movement on this particular request? Also, are we sure this is the only request of it’s kind? How do you monitor the requests to ensure there aren’t many that are similar being voted on separately? What kind of #productfeedback does Asana require in order to implement this feature? How many votes? Many Thanks, Tam

Googling around and very very very surprised this feature does not exist on your platform.

Where does the development stand on this feature? We’re actively looking around at other options since all activity it NOT shown simply by completing tasks - but instead on comments, replies, and task edits.

Any additional insight that you can share?

We’re considering switching to JIRA too, how has your experience been so far?

It’s very frustrating to know that Asana team won’t implement a very useful solution requested by its users.

I am so missing this feature. This would help my personal productivity. I would see what I did last day.

I found some work arround.
I set up 3 advanced filters:

  1. assigned to me / completion any / modified withing last 1 day
  2. assigned not me / completion any / modified withing last 1 day / created by me
  3. assigned not me / completion any / modified withing last 1 day / created not me / assigned by me

I would be nice to have it on one page.

I got problems on users shared project without permission. It is really disaster because I cant tracked which user did that.

I would like to ask where the Asana team is on providing an easy way to see general activity (comments, assigned to-dos, etc) across all projects for a specific user.

This is a “must” for Asana for time tracking and to backtrack what was actually done/said on projects on a daily basis. (similar to the activity feed in basecamp for yourself or other users)

Is there any workaround to see a log of what was said throughout projects? This is literally the most frustrating project management system I’ve ever used.

When are you going to add this? It’s been asked requested for the past 5 years.

People need a way to track their history (comments, task creation, and all).

This is the most difficult tool I have ever used when trying to recap projects I’ve worked on.

We want to see our comments comments comments! Add our own comments to the INBOX please! Allow to filter by only our activity as well.

After searching countlessly for some way of being able to view all activity for yourself (so that you can see what you worked on, commented on, etc for your own reports and timesheet entry) I’ve determined that this just isn’t available in Asana. (at least like how basecamp has their activity feed).

The only way I’ve been able to do this to see “what” I worked on, on a given day is by doing an advanced search…
Search > Advanced Search > Add Filter > People > Commented on by > Your Name

However, this just shows the tasks you commented on, not the actual comments, and the filters/sorting don’t even have a column to see the date/time last modified. You have to click on each individual task, scroll through the comments one by one to see what was done.

The closest thing that offers what basecamp’s activity feed is, is the following…
Inbox > Activity > Expand (so you can see all comments in the feed), but it’s cluttered by everybody elses comments.

But it’s missing one key thing… your OWN comments. It shows everybody else’s activity, except your own.

Can you please improve the Activity feed to have the ability to see your “own” activity, whether that be on inbox or on your profile page? It is literally impossible to find out what was said/done unless you actually complete a task. There should 100% be a way to see overall “your own” activity on projects
