When you open a project group in the Portfolios section, you are navigated to the Portfolios landing page. The landing page is specified in your assigned user interface view and can be any available page in the Portfolios section. After landing in the Portfolios section, use the Portfolios toolbar (shown below) to choose the page you want to work with.
Tips:
-
The icon tabs that appear on the Portfolios toolbar, and the order in which they appear, depend on the settings defined in your assigned user interface view. You can view and modify your personal view settings in View Preferences; however, your ability to modify your settings is based on an administrative option. To access View Preferences, click Preferences at the top of any page, then select the View tab.
-
By default, labels appear on the icon tabs in the Portfolios toolbar. You can turn off labels on tab icons in Global Preferences. To access Global Preferences, click Preferences at the top of any P6 Web Access page. To turn the labels on or off, on the Global tab, mark or clear the Display text on tab icons checkbox, which appears in the General section.
Pages in the Portfolios section are designed to present a specific subset of information and to enable you to analyze and work with portfolio data. Some pages offer customization options.
