Bridge24 for Asana Improvements – Start Time and Multi-select Custom Fields

Asana recently added a number of features including start times, and multi-select custom fields. Bridge24 has incorporated both of these upgrades into the interface to use throughout. Start time inclusion Use start times on the Edit panel, as well as view the data in the Grid and use in reports, history, and exports. On the Edit panel, you can click on the time icon and modify the values directly and update to Asana: Multi-select Custom Field usage Multi-select custom fields contain more than one value. Add the column to the Grid to view. When used within a Report or Chart, the grouping will be applied to each value present. This means that a task can appear more than once within a report (depending on the number of values in its multi-select field). An example chart that is based the multi-select custom field values for the 2 tasks:

Gantt Chart View for Trello in Bridge24 – New Feature

Calendar Enhancements in Bridge24 – New Release

Your Bridge24 account comes with lots of interesting and powerful features that you may not be aware of. Recently we updated the Calendar view with the unique ability to display different dates on the calendar (not just Due date). Calendar View Many users make use of the Calendar view to get a quick glance at how their tasks are dispersed through time. Prior to the recent changes, only the due date was viewable. Now, select other dates and ranges to view, such as Created At and Last Updated At. This can provide valuable insight at a glance. A use case may be to filter by User and see all tasks that have been "Last Updated" recently by that User. Or, if you have a ticketing project, you can use "Created At" date to view the spread of ticket creation throughout the month. If you are a Trello user, Custom date fields can be used as well. Edit Calendar View Settings Set the dates to use as start and end dates or just a punctual single date. The [...]

Bridge24 provides a powerful reporting capability for Asana, Basecamp, Trello, and AceProject. We now have added the ability to use share your Searches for other users in your Bridge24 account to access and use. Each Bridge24 account comes with 5 users for you and your colleagues to use to create great reports and other representations of your data.

Sharing Searches Setting up Search parameters can take time, and some users create a lot of Searches. When a new user joins their Bridge24 account it may take a lot of energy to recreate those searches for the new user to create/access the same search parameters. The same Searches are usually used by multiple users so that they can display/create similar reports, charts, or exports. On the New Search or Edit Search popup a new option called "Share this search" is [...]

Charts by Custom Fields for Asana and Trello

Many of you are required to start making year-end reports based on data that resides within Asana and Trello. Bridge24 should be part of your solution to create useful data products such as structured reports, and visual charts. Especially now, given that both support the use of custom fields!
