Explanation:
Note: Creating Projects on the Portfolio Analysis Page Generally, you create projects while working on the EPS page in the Projects section of the application.
However, it is also possible to create what-if projects while analyzing portfolios. During the process of evaluating a portfolio, you will often want to capture a new project idea. To create a project on the portfolio analysis page:
1) Click Portfolios.
2) On the Portfolios navigation bar, click Portfolio Analysis.
3) On the Portfolio Analysis page:
a. Make sure you are working with the primary portfolio (at top or left) and not the comparison set for the next steps. b. In the Scenario list, select a scenario for your analysis. c. In the View list, select a portfolio view scorecard. d. In the scorecard, select a row where you want to add a new project.
e. Click Add Project.
4) For the first project you create, if defaults are not already set, the Add Project dialog box appears:
a. Select a default Parent EPS element. b. Select a default Responsible Manager. c. Click Select.
5) On the Portfolio Analysis page, click Save. Tip You can change the what-if project's Project Status field value on the General detail window of the EPS page.
For example, you may later want to change a project from What If to Planned status. Note 2: A portfolio is a collection of projects. Group projects into portfolios so you can easily view data from more than one project at a time. Reference; P6 EPPM User's Guide, Creating Projects on the Portfolio Analysis

Explanation:
Working with the Capacity Planning Page
Use the Capacity Planning page to perform What-if analysis, graphically change project forecast dates, and apply waterline analysis techniques to assist with critical, executive-level decision making. Before assessing capacity or demand on resources, create resource and role estimates for each project. During your analysis, you can create and update scenarios that provide varying snapshots of project and role allocation data. After conducting your analysis, you can create new portfolios containing only the projects that meet your planning criteria.

When you choose to display a stacked histogram (A), area chart (C), or spreadsheet, the Capacity Planning chart displays the total at completion units or costs over time for the combination of selected roles and projects. Each of these charts contains the same information in different formats with a data stacking option for the projects and roles you select.

Explanation:
This portlet has a number of customizations. The first choice to be made is to show open assignments on all projects or just those within the filter for this dashboard. The Organize field allows a user to define how the listed open assignments are sorted and shown. The drop-down list offers views where open assignments are shown as:
* Roles with open assignments project by project (A)
* Projects with open assignments role by role (C)
* Roles with open assignments, sorted by project, and sub-sorted by project codes

See figure below:

Note: The Open Requests for Resources portlet allows users to show which activities on projects have only a role (that is, engineer) assigned and need a resource (that is, David Jackson) assigned by their Manager.

Note 2: A variety of pre-defined portlets come with P6.
