How Do I Set Specific Tiles to Appear on Ribbons by Default?

To display information on some screens, the ribbons on those screens must be configured to contain tiles. Because no ribbons are initially configured on the system, an administrator needs to add default ribbon configurations. The steps an administrator takes to add a default ribbon configuration depend on whether the ribbon configuration is to support displaying content for My Overview, a portfolio, or an entity.

           

Creating Default Ribbons for User Roles on My Overview or Portfolios

My Overview, Portfolio View screens, and the Investment and Capacity Planning screen support configurable ribbons.

To add a new user role-based default ribbon configuration:

  1. Click the Portfolio View Ribbons tab.

               

    Click to expand or shrink

    Example of the Portfolio View Ribbons tab on the Menus and View Settings screen

               

  2. In the left pane, click the option relevant to the screen for which you want to add a role-based default.

    For example, click Strategies if you are configuring a default ribbon for the Strategy Portfolio View screen. If you are configuring a default ribbon for the Investment and Capacity Planning screen, click Planning.

  3. Click New Role-Based Default.

  4. Using the Data Picker, select the user role to which you want the default configuration to apply.

    A new configuration ribbon is displayed on the Menus and View Settings screen, and a screen appears in which you can select which tiles to display on that ribbon. The following section describes how to configure a ribbon for My Overview, a Portfolio View screen, or the Investment and Capacity Planning screen. Because a configuration screen is already displayed, you can skip to step 4 in that procedure.

    To add the tile to the ribbon’s main view, drag the Main View/More View separator below the tile. Tiles listed below this separator are added to the ribbon’s More list, and they are hidden from view until more is clicked on the relevant ribbon.

  5. Continue to add additional tiles until the ribbon is configured with the data you want to see. You can configure the order in which the tiles will be displayed by dragging and dropping them above or below other tiles.
