What This Video Covers

This tutorial explains how to create portfolios in Matidor — your consolidated view for tracking project progress, budgets, and updates across multiple sites. Portfolios aggregate the projects you care about into a single dashboard so you can monitor status, financials, and activity without navigating project by project. Matidor supports both automated portfolios that populate dynamically based on filters and manual portfolios where you hand-pick specific projects.

Who This Is For

This video is designed for project managers who oversee multiple simultaneous projects, executives who need a high-level view of portfolio health and budget consumption, and operations coordinators who want to track projects by region, client, or project type.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

The tutorial starts by navigating to the Portfolios section from the main navigation panel. You click to create a new portfolio and choose between two types. An automated portfolio saves a filtered search — for example, all active projects in a specific region — and automatically includes any future projects that match those criteria. A manual portfolio lets you hand-select individual projects for full control over what appears in the view.

Once created, each portfolio displays a map view showing all included project pins, a table view with key metrics, and a dashboard summarizing status and budget data. You can configure email update notifications so stakeholders receive periodic summaries without needing to log in, and visibility settings let you control which team members and guests can see a given portfolio.

Key Takeaways

Portfolios in Matidor are the most efficient way to keep stakeholders aligned on multi-project programs. Automated portfolios update themselves as new matching projects are created, while manual portfolios give you precise control over which sites are included. Both types support map, table, and dashboard views so you always have the right format for the right audience.
