Status & Status Reports

The Status tab allows the manager to set current project metrics and KPIs, and the Status Reports tab provides the manager with the ability to create snapshot status report. See the Status Reporting article for details.

Documents

During the installation of BrightWork 365 a SharePoint site and accompanying document library were created for the environment. A folder for each Portfolio exists in this library.

You can create new Microsoft Office documents or upload existing documents into this library through the Documents tab of the Portfolio record.

SharePoint has an indexing limit that is reached when a document library contains more than 5000 items. If you receive a message about the SharePoint throttling limit being exceeded, see this article.
