Intro

Asana’s cloud-based project management platform helps organizations track their productivity. Domo brings your Asana projects into clearer focus by analyzing every piece of the process-users, tasks, and projects-so users can create reports, share the data with stakeholders, and get more done in less time. The Asana Connector is a safe and quick data connection that you can use to measure success and progress of initiatives at your company. Get automated reports in just seconds. Domo pulls only the most pertinent data to create lightning fast Asana reports, so you’re never making choices based on outdated information. Domo’s easy-to-use platform encourages more productive collaboration. To learn more about the Asana API, visit their page (https://asana.com/developers/documen…arted/overview ). You connect to your Asana account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Asana connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites
