I totally agree with all the previous comment and suggestions. I would only add a very important feature that drives me crazy: auto update of the âfeed/streamâ, I go inside a task and when I go back if it happens to update it goes back to the first task! Grrr, if I was like three of four screens down now I have to do it again to go back on the next task⊠Itâs so annoying.
Easy fix: add a selector on top âmanual updates for new tasksâ.
My turn to provide my suggestions: 1. Add an option to filter the notification items. At a minimum, filter by (1) task with comments (2) added task (3) completed task and (4) changes to recurring tasks such as due dates
2. Move the âarchivedâ button from the bottom to the top. Itâs annoying to have to go all the way down just to archive
Hoping to get this features implemented.
Totally agree that the inbox is completely unmanageable as is, so really only commenting to add more weight. Really only need to be able to quickly find what coworkers have commented/liked, and the notifications about what I have due today are completely unnecessary.
In addition to the need for an âarchive allâ on the mobile, I also donât need 10 push notifications telling me whatâs due today. A quick âYou have 10 items due todayâ would be fine. Maybe the push notification for a specific task if I assigned a specific due time.
I agree with this so much. Itâs the absolute worst addition to Asana. Either need the ability to decide which posts are in the inbox (mainly disabling the pointless individual posts about due tasks) or ability to filter types of posts in the inbox.
A lot of great suggestions here which I totally agree with!
Personally, I would love if I could implement GTD in my Asana Inbox just like like I do with my email inbox or in Asanaâs My Tasks. I would like to mark notifications as Urgent/Today, Upcoming/This Week, Back Burner/Later this month. Just so I can keep track of all those tasks that are not mine (but that I need to follow up with or relate to some of my tasks one way or another) instead of archiving them, where I most likely will miss many of them, or leaving them in the Inbox, clogging the system and giving me anxiety.
âInboxâ is misleading. To me it operates more like a feed of information. And much like Facebookâs feed, I have to assume the alorithm isnât showing me everything.
I agree with all the comments and suggestions above. Iâd like to propose a prompt to update task due dates when commenting, and add the ability to mark work requests as hi-med-low priority.
I do appreciate being able to mark something for follow-up, but there are too many instances where Iâve completely missed a note I was tagged in and had to be re-tagged by someone days later who was asking for status. This makes me look incredibly unprofessional, when really, Iâm on top of my game with all of the work that I actually know about.
I need a way to be notified of @mentions. Right now they are hidden in the inbox mess. I donât need to see every task completed or newly created in every project, but when someone mentions me I definitely need to know about it.
still many people that want this⊠still broken. I foolishly assumed i just didnt know where to turn on settings that would allow me to filter my inboxâŠ
Asana did add a hack which weâre finding useful. Be sure to enable the hack âDisable Notifications for Tasks Starting & Due Todayâ if you havenât already done so.
I donât really use inbox - it always seemed to be a concession for users who really wanted emails. I rely on my organised task list ie using tab-U to move stuff to upcoming after amending due date.
With the introduction of start / due dates though, I wonder if the inbox could be helpful, eg notify of important tasks on their start date, or due date.
This only has possibilities for me if i can have a default setting for âno notificationsâ (for most tasks). Otherwise, yep, the inbox is way too cluttered.
I currently manage 120 projects. How can Asana think the inbox can be useful to maintain everything on track? Reading the inbox means for me to continuously switch from a project to another. Not having filters is simply a stupid condition.
