Add epics to your portfolio

You can add epics that are synced from ValueEdge Agile to your portfolio from either the portfolio candidate pool or the portfolio Contents tab.

In the Candidates page, select the checkboxes of the epics you want to add to your portfolio and then click Move.

Tip: Include the Agile project column in the grid to easily find the target epic. Epics synced from ValueEdge Agile display their workspace names in the Agile project column.
In the Move Portfolio Contents dialog box, select the portfolio where the epics are moved and then click OK.

Open a portfolio and go to the Contents tab.
