The view is based on individual users or teams.

Portfolio box teams
A portfolio should have the same teams as the boxes it contains.
Issue: Capacity can't be calculated because there are no team members in Portfolio teams.
...
Solution: Assign teams to the portfolio Box
If the Teams module isn't active, activate, activate it.
Go to the "Teams" module in the "Portfolio".
Use the "Assign existing team" option.
Add teams that match the boxes in the portfolio. Teams have to be added one by one.
Failed to reassign a task
The resources module allows you to move a task (a task gets reassigned).
Issue: A task cannot be assigned to a team because that team doesn't exist in both boxes (Portfolio and the task the box is in).

A task is in the "Classic project - House Build" box.  "Classic project - House Build" box has four teams:  In the "Portfolio" box there are more than those four teams:  Moving a task in the Resources module of the Portfolio box lets you reassign it to a different team. Teams have to be from the same box. A task isn't being moved to a different box - only the team assignment is changed.  |
