You can create one portfolio for all your projects or create one portfolio for each project. In the latter setup, you must also add the companies and contacts in each portfolio.

To save time, you can use an existing portfolio as a template and copy selected information into the new portfolio. The following information can be copied:

  • Settings: Portfolio-level settings are copied. If you only select this option, Users, Security Roles, Companies, and the portfolio name and company in the General settings aren't included.
    • Settings option
  • Users: Users, their dashboard widgets, their custom views, and their ad hoc report settings in the data view are copied. Security Roles and Companies are also included automatically.

    • Notifications aren't sent to users when they're copied to the new portfolio.

  • Security Roles: Security Roles and their permissions are copied.
  • Companies: Companies, company contacts, company-related lookup lists, company-related custom fields, and default assignees are copied.
  • The user who creates a portfolio from a template is the portfolio administrator, regardless of his role in the template.
  • To create a portfolio, you must be a portfolio administrator in at least one non-trial portfolio.
