Resource portfolio definition

The Definition screen opens the record of the resource portfolio (team). It has four tabs:

TabPurpose
GeneralPortfolio identity
Portfolio membersPortfolio sharing (Owner, Viewer)
ResourcesTeam composition
Portfolio resource managementWho manages the team's resources

Reach it from the Definition / Members menu of a resource portfolio.

Action bar

The Save button and the bin only appear on the General and Resources tabs. The Members and Portfolio resource management tabs are saved automatically on every add or removal.

The "General" tab

The identity tab is deliberately minimal:

  • Name (required) — The label shown in the selector and in screen titles. It is the only blocking field.
  • Description — Free text, entered in a rich editor (formatting, lists, links).
  • Updated at / Created atRead-only timestamps.

The Save button confirms the changes. The bin deletes the portfolio after a confirmation asking you to retype your email and the portfolio name — deletion has no effect on the resources, which stay in the workspace.

The "Resources" tab

This is the team composition, managed by drag and drop between two lists:

ColumnContent
Managed Resources (left)The available resources you can attach
Resources in portfolio (right)The current team composition
  • Drag a resource to the right to add it to the team, to the left to remove it.
  • The search field filters the left list by name.
  • The attribute filter bar narrows the list to resources carrying given field values (job, site, entity…). The chosen filters are remembered across sessions.
  • A generic resource (no email — contractor, pool, machine) is flagged with a dedicated icon.
  • Clicking a resource's avatar opens their user record in a dialog, without leaving the screen.

Resources are created upstream in Settings → Workspace → Member; this tab only attaches them.

No allocation share or attachment period here

Attachment is binary: a resource is in the team or it is not. The resource's capacity is set on their user record and on the workspace Calendar, not on the portfolio.

The "Portfolio resource management" tab

This tab designates the resource managers of the team, also by drag and drop:

ColumnContent
Workspace members (left)Members who can be designated as managers
Resource managers (right)The managers in place

Dropping a member on the right designates them "Resource manager" — the role visible on the user profile record — for all the resources of the portfolio, in one gesture.

Two behaviours to know:

  • Dynamic propagation — the role applies to the whole team, including resources added later.
  • Symmetrical removal — removing a manager from this list takes the role away on the resources they held from this portfolio. A manager role granted elsewhere (directly on a resource record, or through another portfolio) is not affected.

The tab is saved automatically: every drop triggers a save of the portfolio.

Good habit

Give each team a short, meaningful name ("Web Front", "Data", "Ops"): that name is what appears in selectors and consolidated filters.
