Add custom fields with colors assigned to values.

Set up your project in list or board layout.

If your project includes multiple custom fields with color-like status for “on track,” “at risk,” or “off track”-you can switch between them to see work in different contexts to make more informed decisions. This way, when you view your plans on Timeline, it’s clear at a glance if a task is high priority or low priority. This makes timing conflicts clear, but how do you know which tasks can be moved if you don’t know their priority? Add a Priority custom field with colors for each level to your project. With the recent launch of Timeline, you can now visually map out project plans to see how all the work fits together. Specify colors on Timeline to give work context You can also create Advanced Search reports using the Approval stage field and other criteria, such as work assigned to you, to see where to focus your effort.Ĥ.

The approver assigns the task back to you to update or complete.

The approver updates the custom field to “Changes Needed” if updates need to be made or “Approve”’ if it’s ready to go after they’ve reviewed your work.Assign the task to the approver so they can review your work.Once you’ve completed your work for the task, update the Approval status to “Ready for Review.”.

How to use the Approval stage custom field: It also has an Approval stage custom field so you can specify whether work is Ready for Review, Changes Needed, or is Approved. For example, the Work and Creative Requests template includes a Priority field so you can specify whether the request is high, medium, or low priority. If you’re not sure which custom fields to use, start your next project with an Asana-created template, which include fields for the specific workflow. Set priority and approval stage with templates

Company objective and goal tracking: Include the link to dashboards or reports related to the objective so you can see progress.ģ.

Bug tracking: Specify the page that’s causing error messages for visitors so your web dev team can fix it.

Editorial calendars: Add published blog post links to tasks for future reference.

Creative requests: Keep track of which web page each design and copy task is for.

Tracking links in custom fields are helpful for: The best part? When you click a link from a custom field, the page will open in a new window. Just enter the link into the text field so anyone can easily revisit the exact page without having to ask for it or go on a scavenger hunt for the URL. But now you can track links in custom fields (make sure to use a text field), so you won’t have to. “What’s the link to that web page again?” is a question you’ve probably asked a teammate (more than once). Track links so everyone’s on the same (web) page

Use emojis in custom fields to help communicate: Then save your changes, and you’re all set :white_check_mark. Copy and paste the emoji(s) you want to use from the text formatting menu in the task description or comment field. To add emojis to existing or new custom fields, click Manage Custom Fields… in your project’s actions dropdown menu, then click Add Field to Project or the gear icon on the right side of the field to edit the existing values. Many of us communicate through a :computer: or :iphone: for most (or all) of our workday, so this visual context helps you understand the information within fields quickly. They help you visually communicate a message :+1: and your tone :grinning. Within custom fields, emojis do double duty. Or as others might say, “a form of communication.” And now you can add them to your custom fields in Asana :clap. Add emojis to field values for easy scanning :tada:Įmojis are a way of life :raised_hands.

To make custom fields more powerful and well, customizable :wink:, we’ve recently added new functionality so it’s easier to capture and manage info for your team’s work. Then use this information to organize work and run reports to make better decisions, faster. With custom fields, you can collect and track the specific information you need to move projects forward. Custom fields in Asana Premium help you track this data and more. Is it high priority? Is it ready for final approval? Is it for your website, email, or product? Tracking these details lets you know where to focus your efforts, how work is progressing, and what it will impact.

While tracking assignees and due dates is a great place to start, it doesn’t paint the full picture of the task at hand.
