Portfolio Pages and Portlets

This section contains the following topics:

Portfolio Dashboard

PMO Portfolio Investment Dashboard

Portfolio Dashboard

Use the Portfolio Dashboard page to view a series of tabs with portlets that provide a view of the data across portfolios.

Portfolio planning and analysis occur within the portfolio planning horizon, which is the time window between the portfolio start and finish dates. If the plan of record is selected as a portlet filter option, then the portfolio planning horizon is the time window between the plan of record start and finish dates.

This dashboard page shows portfolio investment amounts that are above the waterline in the portfolios. Investments are considered above the waterline if they are ranked, via ranking rules or manual ranking, above the waterline as determined by the primary constraint or manually setting the waterline in the portfolio. This page includes the following tabs:

Costs and Benefits

Use the portlets on the Cost and Benefits tab to see target, distributed, and planned cost and benefits for each portfolio. The portlets also display variance amounts for cost and benefits, comparing target to distributed and distributed to planned amounts.

To access this page, open Home, and from Portfolio Management, click Portfolio Dashboard.

The target and distributed amounts in the portlets reflect the amounts entered in the properties or targets tab of each portfolio. The planned amounts in the portlets are the planned amounts of the investments in the portfolio.

See the How to Create a Portfolio of Investments scenario for more information.

This Cost and Benefits tab consists of the following portlets:

Use the page-level filter to filter all portlets at once by manager, stakeholder, and above waterline.

By default, the amounts shown in the portlets represent investment amounts from investments that are above the waterline within the portfolios. To view below the waterline amounts or all investment amounts, change the Above Waterline drop-down on the portfolio page-level filter.

Portfolio Costs Portlet

The Portfolio Costs portlet displays a column graph showing the target, distributed, and planned cost of each portfolio. Use this portlet to compare these cost amounts across 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.

To access this portlet, open Home, and from Portfolio Management, select Portfolio Dashboard.

The values on the Y-axis are the portfolio target, distributed, and planned cost amounts. The target cost is a line on the chart. The distributed and planned cost amounts are columns. Click one of the columns in the graph to open the portfolio waterlines page.

This portlet is based on the Portfolio Provider. Fields included in the system provider are available to this portlet and may be added through the configure option. For more information, see the Personalizing CA Clarity PPM User Guide.
