Why use Asana2Go?

Taking Customization to the Next Level

While Asana2Go shines with its out-of-the-box features, its true potential lies in its ability to unleash your creativity through custom output creation; if you ever need a specific report or layout that the standard formats can’t provide, Asana2Go can step up as your personal report writer for Asana.

Creating custom output requires more effort, but the results are well worth it. Asana2Go leverages the Handlebars template language, HTML, and Markdown, offering you a rich set of tools to design the output you envision precisely. Access to Asana API data enables you to craft detailed reports tailored to your unique requirements.

Flexible Reporting with My Tasks and Advanced Search Results

Asana2Go isn’t limited to exporting content from projects alone. You can also make selections in My Tasks or Advanced Search Results, combining flexible searching with flexible reporting. This powerful combination lets you dive deep into your Asana data and generate insightful reports for personal use or team collaboration.

Tailor-Made CSV Output

Exporting your tasks in CSV format becomes a breeze with Asana2Go. You can quickly select the tasks you need, choose the basic CSV format, and copy the results to your clipboard. The CSV output integrates seamlessly with spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, making data analysis and manipulation a breeze.

Furthermore, you aren’t constrained by the standard formats provided. Asana2Go encourages you to duplicate and edit existing formats or create entirely new ones from scratch, personalized to meet your needs.

Conclusion
