Asana is another powerful task management tool that offers a wide range of features to streamline your electronic task organisation. With Asana, you can create projects and tasks, assign them to team members, set due dates, and track progress. One of the standout features of Asana is its ability to create dependencies between tasks, ensuring that you can clearly define the order in which tasks need to be completed. Asana also provides a calendar view, timeline view, and various integrations with other tools, making it a comprehensive solution for task management.

Accessibility features for people with visual impairments

Colourblind mode allows Asana users who are affected by deuteranopia and protanopia (red-green colour-blindness) to better distinguish between different project and status update colours.

To enable Colourblind Friendly Mode:

• Click your profile from the top bar
• Select My Settings
• Navigate to the Display tab and select the Enable colour blind friendly mode (protanopia and deuteranopia) checkbox. You should see colours changed immediately.

Dark Mode

Dark mode is a colour scheme that uses a dark background with lighter text. It allows you to view Asana according to your own display preferences.

Accessing Dark mode:

• First click on My settings.
• Then navigate to the Display tab and choose Dark from the list of themes.
• Dark mode will then be enabled.

iOS VoiceOver Support

VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that allows you to use the Asana iOS app without having to see the screen.

To enable VoiceOver, go to your General Settings on your iOS device and click Accessibility.

• Click VoiceOver in the Accessibility menu.
• Click the VoiceOver switch to enable VoiceOver mode.
• You can then receive updates and create tasks using VoiceOver capabilities.
