Intro

Project Portfolio Office (PPO) is an online project portfolio management and collaboration application. Use Domo’s PPO connector to connect your PPO data and adopt a simple to use, cost effective, configurable yet enterprise scalable project portfolio management application to plan, manage, collaborate, execute, and report on their projects, programmes and portfolios. To learn more about the PPO API, visit PPO Web Services API. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the PPO connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

​
Prerequisites

To connect to your PPO account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:
  • Your PPO user name
  • Your PPO Password
  • Instance ID referencing to your PPO account

​
Connecting to Your PPO Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the PPO Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

​
Credentials Pane

This pane contains three fields for entering credentials to connect to your PPO account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field

Description

Username Enter your user name which is the same username for logging into the API services.

Instance ID Enter the ID referencing to your PPO account.
Once you have entered valid PPO credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new PPO DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

​
Details Pane

This pane contains three fields, Entity Type, Display Value, and Caption Value.
