The portfolio is available in the project menu under Dashboards > Portfolio.

The portfolio provides a user with a wide range of functionality. Namely:

  • To complete a list of applications that exist in a user’s project including their status;
  • To indicate applications which are shared within other projects;
  • To process, delete and configure applications;
  • To sort, filter, and export application data.

The following screen shows the portfolio interface in Apptimized Dashboard.
