The Portfolio List form
Form Overview
This form is opened by clicking on the "Open Portfolio List" menu Project in the “Portfolio List” Menu.
Use this form to open, create, duplicate, and delete Portfolios. The form lists all of the available Portfolios. The first column of the listbox displays the Portfolio numbers and the second column displays the Portfolio names. Double-clicking on a row will open the selected Portfolio. You can change the name of a Portfolio by clicking twice slowly on the respective name in the row to make it editable.
When you click once on any row, the row becomes highlighted and you can use the buttons at the top or the Portfolio list menu Projects to Open, delete, and duplicate a Portfolio. Note that when you duplicate a Portfolio and exact copy is made, including all of the bubble charts listed in the Portfolio Bubble Chart list form.
You can sort the form by the numbers in the left column or alphabetically by name by clicking the respective headers at the top of the columns.
You can customize the display of this form by selecting the "Preferences" menu item under the "File" menu or pressing "control-," (Windows) or "Command-," (Mac) to open the Portfolio List Preferences form.

Clicking on a row containing the Portfolio name highlights that row and enables the buttons and menu Projects for opening, deleting, and duplicating the selected Portfolio.

Note that duplicate names are not permitted and the length of the name cannot exceed 48 characters.
