22.1 enhancements

Review BMC Helix Portfolio Management 22.1 enhancements for features that will benefit your organization and to understand changes that might impact your users. 

Programs 

Considered a subsection of the Portfolio, Program is a collection of related Projects.

The related Projects require to be managed or coordinated as a group. Thus came the need for a Program to give a parent to all such products. 

A Portfolio can have more than one independent Program and Project, but a Program only contains the projects which can be bundled through some indicators or business objectives.

Cards 

The feature, Cards, is a new addition to the Agility Suite Dashboard.

Visually resembling a box-like structure, Cards are quick navigators designed to improve discoverability and access to some chosen (by you) views.

In Agility Suite, we have two types of cards:

• Pre-Configured Cards
• Custom Cards

One can create Custom Cards for their selves as a shortcut to their frequently used views. Besides, there are some Pre-configured Cards that Agility Admin defines for all the users.

Labels 

The Label is a tagging feature that lets you apply categorical information to any or all Root Objects (precisely to the records under them). The information may include details in line with the topic, priority, type of task, and more.

On application basis, Labels are of two types –

• Primary Label
• Secondary Labels

The records sharing the same label get linked to each other logically. Thus, it enables the users to discover, filter and manage different records based on the labels they are associated with.

Though we can apply labels to any record and at any level, Label creation is feasible only on the Application, Portfolio, Program and Project levels.

On creation basis, Labels are of two types –

• Pre-Configured Labels
• Custom Labels
