Sort Task List by COMPANY or DEAL

AHeil

I'm trying to look at how many open tasks there are (that are due or overdue) for each deal so I can prioritize where to start. If deals have more open tasks, I want to start there because that means I'm falling behind on them the most. 

 

It would be nice to have a more user friendly way of grouping the task list by Company or Deal.

Hi everyone! My name is Hallie, and I'm an Associate Program Manager on our CXM team here at HubSpot. I wanted to share that this is now possible within the Sales Workspace, as noted in this product update. I understand this request originally is for the Tasks Dashboard; while I don't have any updates around this feature being implemented there specifically, I will be sure to update this post if I hear anything regarding that. In the meantime, I just wanted to share that it is currently possible in the 'Tasks' tab of Sales Workspace. 🙂

I agree.  this is basic blocking and tackling for a sale person. I can't believe this kind of functionality (along with a bunch of others I am finding after moving over from a salesforce shop) isn't available.  The design should just be to make every column sortable.  period.  problem solved.    thanks for posting this.  the voting system is a screwy way to manage it, because most reps dont take the time to go do this. just get frustrated and try to get back to work.

Upvoted. Our sales users requested this today - they would like to sort tasks by Company.

This feature needs to be implemented, often users would want to sort the tasks by the companies and work on them together. 

This needs to be added here.

Why is such a small change so hard to make?

Has there been any progress on this?  Really need to be able to sort in the task dashboard by deal.

This would solve for SO many challenges when managing tasks for us! Please make this happen!

Hi everyone!

 

I've found a workaround for this problem. Thought I'd post it here to help out 🙂

 

1. Create your tasks via a workflow / manually, and add the company name in the title of the task 

2. Add all the tasks to a task queue

3. Click on your task queue in the task manager, filter by title and hit start

 

Cheers!

Thanks Deborah,

 

You workaround inspired me to experiment a little, and given I only have a few companies with numeous tasks to track I added a queue name that reflected the company name.  I already use your recomended approach to sort my deal view by company name so I know it works but the thought of having to add the company name as a prefix to all objects didn't appel to me.  Both approaches work and depending on the user need / territory complexity, pick one that works for you.  It's still duplication however and how hard can it be for HubSpot to 'fix'?

I added a property to a Company. I'd like to create a Task View that shows all tasks filtered by Companies that have that property set/not-set as a criteria. It is seemingly impossible with the current version of Hubspot. Seems odd, a glaring oversight, or there is some technical hurdle behind the scenes we are unaware of. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Seriously?  Can't sort by company name or filter by company name?  I want to find all like customers (by name) that have the same task to view status.  Upvote sorting by Company!

It would be great to be able to sort by Company if you have included that in the task view.

This one seems like such and obvious one and easy to implement. We should be able to sort by any column without much effort no?

We're new to utilizing the task function in Hubspot at scale, and we were surprised that once we loaded tasks, we weren't able to sort them by all the columns in our view.  Currently, associated fields don't support sorting. We would love to be able to sort tasks by any of the columns. I would love to know if someone has found a workaround.
