Asana Advanced/Business Plan
Saved views for capacity planning and workload
Capacity planning and workload management just got a whole lot easier in Asana. This January update introduces saved views specially designed for these critical tasks. Advanced tier users can now create and save customized views tailored to their team’s capacity and workload needs. See what’s most relevant to you and your team by filtering, sorting, and grouping your data in the ways that make the most sense. Whether you’re tracking individual workloads, team capacity, or project timelines, saved views will help you quickly access the information you need to make informed decisions and keep your projects running smoothly.
Asana Enterprise Plan
Multiple onboarding flows in custom onboarding
Multiple onboarding flows in custom onboarding allow administrators to create distinct onboarding experiences tailored to specific roles, departments, or other unique needs within the same domain. This means you can ensure that new team members receive the most relevant information and guidance from their very first day, accelerating their time to productivity and improving overall onboarding effectiveness. Create different flows for engineers, marketing teams, or even specific projects, ensuring each new hire gets the personalized support they need to succeed.
Private custom Fields
For Enterprise users handling sensitive data, Asana’s January update introduces private custom fields. This feature provides enhanced control over data visibility, allowing you to keep specific custom fields and their values private. Only explicitly named members will have permission to view or edit these private fields, regardless of the project or portfolio where they appear. This added layer of security ensures that sensitive information remains confidential, even within shared workspaces, making Asana an even more robust platform for managing confidential workflows.
Edit restriction on custom field values
For Enterprise users requiring even finer control over data, the edit restrictions on custom field values allow project admins to specify precisely who can modify the values within specific custom fields in a project. This is crucial for protecting sensitive data, like budget figures or information collected via intake forms, from unauthorized changes. By limiting editing access to project admins or designated editors, you can ensure data integrity and maintain a secure workflow.
Portfolio Advanced permissions
For users who need stricter control over their portfolio management, Asana’s update delivers advanced portfolio permissions. This enhancement allows administrators to restrict portfolio customization and sharing exclusively to admins. This ensures that only authorized individuals can make changes to portfolio structure or share sensitive information, providing an added layer of security and maintaining consistency in how portfolios are used across the organization.
Transfer allocations from capacity plans
Managing resources across projects just became more streamlined for Enterprise users. Asana’s January update introduces the ability to transfer allocations within capacity plans. This feature allows you to bulk move all allocations for a specific project from one user to another. Whether someone is changing roles, going on leave, or projects are being re-assigned, this bulk transfer capability simplifies resource management and ensures accurate capacity planning.
Admin credit usage notifications for AI Studio
Keeping track of AI Studio credit usage is now easier for Enterprise users. Asana’s January update delivers admin credit usage notifications. Your organization’s admins will receive both email and in-product notifications when approaching the credit usage limit. This proactive alert system helps prevent unexpected interruptions to AI Studio workflows and allows for timely adjustments to your subscription, ensuring continuous access to Asana’s AI-powered features.
