The Manage Portfolios screen is the main entry point for consulting the list of existing Folios and Portfolios, and creating, configuring or deleting them. It is accessible through the main FOLIO menu located in JIRA's top bar (Portfolios > Manage Portfolios). The screen has two sections:

  • Portfolios, a column located at the left of the screen, showing the list of existing Portfolios.

  • Folios, the main part of the screen showing the list of existing Folios with summary information on each one.

Each one gives you access to a wide number of operations, including associating Folios with Portfolios by drag and dropping elements from the Folios List to those of the Portfolios List.

Adding a Custom Field as a column

Folio custom fields can be added as a column in the folio's table via the FOLIO's global configuration.
