Let’s begin by showing you how to access the portfolio feature on your main screen. Look for the briefcase icon, which represents the portfolio feature. Clicking it will take you to the portfolio, where the first screen you see is the Overview page.

On the Overview page, you get a high-level view of your portfolio. All the projects you add to your No Links account are automatically included. A chart displays project delays using four categories—from “Not Delayed” to “More than 6 Months Delay”—and shows the total number of projects, the delayed projects, and your portfolio’s overall average score.

Next, switch to the Timeline screen, which presents your project progress in a Gantt chart format. Here, the yellow line represents the baseline, and the blue line shows the actual progress. The portfolio baseline aggregates the baselines of all projects, allowing for an easy comparison between planned and actual progress at both the program and portfolio levels. You can also drill down to view individual project details.

For a deeper dive into your data, the Trends screen provides detailed insights. This screen features a table that organizes your data into portfolios and programs, displaying key performance indicators (KPIs) such as progress, milestones, and delay metrics. At the project level, graphs illustrate delay trends over time and show health scores, update dates, and more. Simply hover over any KPI to view its trend across time—the data updates automatically whenever a new schedule is uploaded.

To streamline your workflow, if you find a project that interests you, click the “Home Screen” button next to its name to access all its details in No Links, or select the “Reports” button to generate a detailed report—either automatically with AI or customized to your needs. You can sort the table by any KPI and customize the displayed columns by clicking the pencil icon. Your feedback on which KPIs are most useful is always welcome.

Finally, let’s explore the Portfolio Structure screen, where you can manage your portfolio hierarchy. Here, you can view your current setup, create new portfolios or programs, and move projects accordingly. To create a new portfolio, click “Create,” name it, and assign it under “All Projects”—it will automatically be defined as a portfolio. Similarly, to create a program, click “Create” and place it under the desired portfolio. Changes made here are automatically reflected across the Timeline, Overview, and Trends screens. You can also rename or move items along with their sub-items. Note that you cannot delete an item unless it is empty; remove all associated projects first. A “Reset Structure” option is available to revert all changes.

In summary, the Overview and Timeline screens provide a big-picture view of your projects, while the Trends screen offers detailed insights. The Portfolio Structure screen allows you to manage your hierarchy effortlessly. Thank you for watching, and we look forward to your valuable feedback.
