Many project management teams have become more productive and efficient in their work because of using collaboration software. These tools automate many of the tasks and allow users to save a lot of time and money. Among the most popular choices of teams is Asana, a tool for planning, sharing, and organizing work. Created by Dustin Moskovitz and Justin Rosenstein, Asana boasts of creating a virtual workspace for users to collaborate. The manager can easily create tasks, put comments, and attach files they can assign to their members. Users can also communicate with their team through the software’s messaging tools, like its message boards. Asana also helps teams manage their budgets, stay within them, and meet deadlines with quality output.

Asana is available in both free and paid versions. Users can access basic features with the free version, including tasks, archives, and searches. On the other hand, those subscribed to the paid one can take advantage of more advanced features. […]

Asana is a widely used, highly rated, user-friendly web-based project management tool that businesses can employ. It enables teams to centralize everything from long-term objectives to day-to-day tasks, making it easier for team members to know their responsibilities, priorities, and progress. For example, Asana allows project sections to be divided into lists of tasks. Each task can be further segmented into sub-tasks, and other project participants can be invited, files can be attached, and descriptions can be added to each task. With this tool, teams can eliminate concerns about overlooked work, missed deadlines, and endless email chains.

If you need an advanced reporting and exporting platform to boost Asana’s capabilities, consider our tool Bridge24 for Asana.

After many customer requests, we have made the decision to provide support for Portfolios and the new Time Tracking module from Asana. This means that you can now utilize these new fields for your tasks: portfolio, estimated time, and actual time. Additionally, these fields are accessible in all views within the application, such as Grid, Charts, Calendar, Gantt, Reports, History, and Export.

Please take a look at the screenshots below, which illustrate how you can use these new fields.

Several Asana users have asked if it is possible to include subtasks as main tasks in the different views of the application. You are probably wondering why it’s important?

Some customer issues:

• Some of my tasks are not shown in the charts. I think it is not including subtasks for some reason.
• My subtasks have due dates but I cannot see them in the calendar view.
• My issue is that when I want to download attachments from Asana I can only download the attachments from main tasks. How to include subtask attachments to download?
• The grid view is powerful, but the subtasks are only displayed in a tiny subtasks column. How can I fully see them in the grid?

By default, when you click on a project from the left panel, we only display the main tasks. If you want the subtasks to be included, you need to activate the toggle at the top-right of your screen. See the image below:
