  • Create personal Saved Views (all permission levels), or Shared Saved Views, accessible across the organization (Administrators only)

Working with Columns

List View shows project information as a table. In list view you can edit which columns appear and sort projects by column names.

To change your project view:

  • Select the List View icon and choose which columns you want to include.
  • Click on a column label at the top of the column to sort the project list alphabetically or numerically.

Saved Views

Saved Views provide a way to quickly display the projects and information that matters most to you and your organization.

To save a view for yourself, select + Save Current View under My Views. Edit your Saved Views by saving the updated view by the same name.

Administrators can also create Shared Saved Views, which are accessible by anyone in your organization who has access to the Project Portfolio Page.
