## Populating Portfolios
After you've created a portfolio, you can populate it with projects, applications, and other portfolios.

The portfolio configuration interface has some logic to prevent obvious duplications (such as manually adding the same project). However, in case of more subtle duplications (for example, due to regular expression or other bulk definition), the calculation of that portfolio will fail with a helpful error message.

## Calculation
By default, Portfolios are queued to be recalculated after each analysis of an included project. For each relevant Portfolio, a “Background Task” is created, and you can follow the progress on each in the **[Administration > Projects > Background Tasks](/#sonarqube-admin#/admin/background_tasks)** by looking at the logs available for each item.
