Importing subtasks
Here is an example of an Asana project that contains subtasks:
To import subtasks, proceed to Integrations in Screenful settings and add a new data source.
In the next step, make sure to check the include subtasks checkbox.
Rolling up values from subtasks
You can roll up values from subitems by selecting Parent as the row in the Table chart.
Now each row in the table corresponds to the top level task, and the metrics shown in columns are the summaries from the subtasks. For example, a column can show the total number of subtasks for a parent, the total number of completed subtasks, or the total work estimated vs actual etc.
The columns are configurable, so you can roll up any of the available metrics from subtasks. The progress bar can be used to show the completion percentage of the subtasks. It can be added to the chart by applying a formula:
Here’s the final chart:
Filtering by subtasks
In the chart settings, you can include or exclude subtasks using the Item type filter:
Clicking Set filter opens the filter modal:
Similarly, you can also filter by subtasks’ parents (regular tasks):
Creating charts from both tasks and subtasks
You can now use the newly connected project as a data source to track Asana’s subtasks in all Screenful charts. For example, here is a task list that contains both tasks and subtasks of an Asana project:
With the charts that support grouping, you can also group your data by item type. This can be helpful if you want to track the number of tasks and subtasks in your projects:
