Creating a task in Asana
- Click the + in the Backlog column to add a task.
- Give a brief name to your ticket, e.g., “Search Filter bug” or “Calendly Integration.”
- Provide a description of the bug you are seeing or additional functionality you want us to create. Try to be as detailed as possible about how this would help solve your pains and your requirements.
If you have any attachments you want to share e.g. a mock-up of the feature you’re requesting or a screenshot, then add an attachment here.
- Assign a priority level. How urgent is this?
- Click submit and that's it! Our producer will review and assign the task appropriately.
