Portfolio Cost and Benefit Analysis Portlet

The Portfolio Cost and Benefit Analysis portlet displays target, distributed, and planned cost and benefit amounts for each portfolio. Use this portlet to view the overall health, risk, and cost variances of portfolios. The portlet filters include: Portfolio (multi-select), OBS Unit, Portfolio Plan Type, Managers (multi-select), Stakeholders (multi-select), Above Waterline, and Active. By default, the Portfolio Plan Type filter is set to Portfolio. This means that the amounts displayed in the portlet are the portfolio amounts as of the last sync. If you set the Portfolio Plan Type filter to Plan of Record, then the amounts are based on the portfolio plan marked as the plan of record. You must have a plan of record on the portfolio for it to appear in the portlet if you select this filter option.
