A sidebar at the left that shows a tree view of existing Portfolios
The main view showing all content or the content of the selected portfolio in the sidebar.

Each one gives you access to a number of operations, including associating Folios with Portfolios by drag- and dropping elements from the main part of the screen to a portfolio in the sidebar.

Adding Folios to a Custom Portfolio

You can add folios and portfolios to a custom portfolio using drag and drop. First select one or more entries (folios and/or portfolios) in the main part of the screen and drag them to a visible portfolio in the tree view on the left. A dashed border will appear around custom portfolios where items can be dropped in the tree. While dragging items, the items count is shown in a colored circle in the upper right corner of the dragged box.

Dragging folios to a portfolio adds them to that portfolio without removing them from their original portfolio. Folios can belong to as many portfolios as you want. Folios can only be associated to the portfolios that you can edit.

Be aware that you should arrange your folios in such a way that a portfolio does not recursively contain the same folio multiple times. Such a situation can arise for instance if you have a portfolio A containing folio 123 and portfolio B, and then adding folio 123 to portfolio B. The consequence is that portfolio A will provide totals that sum up folio 123's numbers twice.

When this situation occurs, a warning sign () will appear on the corresponding portfolios lines in the main part of the screen. A global warning will also show up when opening a portfolio.

By contrast with folios, dragging a portfolio inside another portfolio moves it. Note that you cannot move a portfolio to itself or to any of its child portfolios. Portfolios can be dragged from the tree view as well as from the main part of the screen.

Removing a Folio from a Portfolio

To remove a folio or portfolio from a portfolio, click on the x found in the tag of the corresponding Portfolio in the list under column Parent Portfolios.

You can only remove folios or portfolio from portfolios that you own.

Dynamic Portfolio

Use this option when you want to create a portfolio that includes all Folios that currently match one or more conditions.
