About Dashboards, Workspaces, and Workgroups
P6 provides three types of user-customizable pages you can use to monitor and share concise
snapshots of data in a single place without having to navigate to other sections of the application.
They are:
 Dashboards
 Project Workspaces
 Workgroups (a workspace within the project workspace)
You can customize the content and layout of each dashboard, workspace, and workgroup to
display related data inside smaller windows called portlets. Portlets provide the means for adding,
editing, and viewing up-to-date information about portfolio, project, resource, workflow,
document, and personal data. They provide a single location for collaborating with other users.
You can have multiple dashboards and workgroups; however, each project has just one project
workspace.

About Portfolios
A portfolio is a collection of projects. Group projects into portfolios so you can easily view data from more than
one project at a time. For example, you might filter a dashboard by a portfolio to view a wide range of
information for multiple related projects at one time.
In a more strategic sense, you should group projects and programs together to facilitate the effective new
product development and management of those projects to optimize your organization's success at meeting
business objectives.
Using portfolios, you can review summary data and status information for the group as a whole or for individual
projects in a portfolio.
You can create portfolios for your own use or for sharing with other users. You can also create global portfolios,
which are available to all users.
Portfolio views, such as pie charts, enable you to visually compare portfolios. For example, compare costs for all
projects in region A (one portfolio) vs. region B (another portfolio).
Historical snapshots of grouped project data, called scenarios, aid in your analysis of project groups on the
Portfolio Analysis and Capacity Planning pages.

About Projects
A project is any temporary series of activities performed in some coordinated arrangement in order to create a
product, service, or measurable business result. Projects have a definite beginning and end. A project is
concluded when its objectives have been reached or when the project is terminated.

About Resources
A resource is any quantifiable item in limited supply and of sufficient value to justify tracking and assigning to
specific activities for a project. Resources include general or specialized labor, non-labor items such as
equipment, and material items such as bricks.
Resources perform roles, if defined. Resources are indirectly assigned to activities by first planning the role
required. It is also possible to directly assign resources to activities. For example, Chris, a level 2 contractor with
the confirmed skills and status, is directly assigned to activity 01. However, a technician level 4 role is assigned
to activity 02. The project will proceed while management determines the best available resource to fulfill
