What is the goal of the portfolio reporting tab?
A portfolio manager can send a report request to a project from the portfolio. When they do this, they request the project manager to fill in a report, for example about the progress or the cost incurred. When the report is filled, the project manager can publish it to the portfolio. This causes the information in the portfolio to be updated with the most recent information from the report. In short, the portfolio reporting tab enables the project manager to report to the portfolio the project belongs to in an easy way.
How do I create a portfolio report?
A portfolio report is created in the reporting tab in the Portfolio app. The portfolio manager can send a report request for one or more portfolio-items, so the relevant people can update the information in the report model. In other words, a portfolio manager can send a report request to a project, so the project manager has to update the information in the report. This causes the information to stay up-to-date.
Since this functionality is part of the Portfolio app, more information will be provided in the texts on the Portfolio app.
