About the Portfolio Dashboard List

This list is automatically created when you add the Project Portfolio Dashboard web part to a page. The list is created on the same site where the web part is added to a page.

Note: If you remove the web part from a page or uninstall the web part completely, the Project Portfolio Dashboard list will not be removed. You must remove it manually.

Any Project Portfolio Dashboard web parts added to a page in a site reference the same Project Portfolio Dashboard List. There is only one list per site.

ConfigListName.jpgYou can change the name of the Project Portfolio Dashboard list, but you must update the Bamboo.ProjectPortfolioDashboardList.xml configuration list with the name of the new list so that the web part points to the correct data source. The list may be located in the following location depending on your SharePoint configuration:

<drive>:InetpubwwwrootwssVirtualDirectories80wpresourcesBamboo.ProjectPortfolioDashboardBamboo.ProjectPortfolioDashBoardList.xml
