Reports Embedded in a Portfolio
The different report templates proposed as standard by HOPEX IT Portfolio Management are designed to compare initiatives of a portfolio based on specific criteria. Different report types offer different analysis possibilities.
These reports are based on information provided by the application owners. They do not require any configuration and are available to application portfolio managers.
To access existing reports on an application portfolio:
1. Open the properties of the portfolio.
2. Click the drop-down list then Reporting.
