Create solutions

A solution is used to group programs when a multi-program consolidated view is required routinely. For example, if you need to report on Business and Consumer Enablers as a consolidated program, then you may create a solution Enablers that is a program of both. Solutions are not permitted to be assigned any work items. These must be assigned to one or more unique programs. Use solutions to filter the reports easily rather than to add every associated child program to get the overall result.

To create a solution:

1. Select the Settings gear in the top navigation bar.
2. On the left side of the page, select Programs in the Setup section.
3. On the toolbar (top-right of the page), select the Add Program button.
4. Enter a name for your solution, and then select Yes from the Solution dropdown.
5. From the corresponding dropdown, select a portfolio the solution will be tied to, and then select Save & Close.

Next, you need to associate programs with the created solution using the Solution dropdown on the Program slide-out panel.
