Connect to a new platform project

To connect an Asana instance to a new platform project:

  2. Select Create project. Learn more about creating and editing projects.
  3. Fill out the required fields.
  4. Select the issue tracking options:

Configure progress mapping

Progress mapping allows you to synchronize the progress of a task and the completion status of an Asana task. When an Asana status is updated, the task progress automatically updates in the platform (and vice versa). Progress mapping currently supports the two Asana statuses: complete and incomplete. This is derived from the the "complete" field on an Asana task. Progress mapping is one to one, meaning you can't map two platform statuses to the same Asana status.

To map your Asana and Level Access project progress:

  1. Go to Projects/tasks.
  2. Find the project you want to map to and select the three-dot action menu.
  3. Select Configure Progress Mapping.
  4. Choose the Asana completion status you want to connect with one platform task progress. Note that each Asana status can only be connected to one platform task progress.
  5. Select Save.
