Resources module in Portfolio - troubleshooting and setup
The Resources module in a Portfolio box aggregates data from all boxes in the portfolio.
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).
Example:
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 team assignment is changed.
