To categorise deals on a higher level, the system offers a Portfolio concept.
In order to use portfolios you have to activate the functionality in system settings and setup the portfolio structure.

Whenever you want to create a new deal you will be presented with the option of which portfolio the deal should belong to before choosing the deal type.

Note

There are some key differences between portfolios and tags. Let's take a look at what they are:

Portfolios vs. Tags

Mandatory: You have to choose a portfolio before a deal can be created
Deal type control: Choose which deal types can be created in each portfolio

Other functionality

Portfolio is available as a selection criteria throughout the system such as in Reports and Ledgers
Portfolio is a column available in Reports and it is possible to group and sum on different portfolios
You can setup different accounting rules for different portfolios e.g. "hedge accounting portfolio"

Example of Portfolios

In the Portfolios Setup view, there is an option to change the order of the portfolios. Assign permissions to the portfolios and possible to see the latest registered deals.

In order to see a portfolio the user needs to have Read permission. By default the Role everyone get the Read, Update, Delete and Share.

Update gives the user permission to add or remove Deal Templates, change name description or color
