At the top left of each page, you will see a pulldown menu with your fund's name on it. If you open the pulldown menu, you will see a list of your portfolio companies grouped by their respective funds. To narrow down your portal experience to just a single portfolio company, you can change your workspace by selecting one of the portfolio companies in this menu. That will remove all other portfolio companies and their information from your experience of the portal, i.e. it changes your workspace not just this page. To get back to the top level where you see all portfolio companies, select your fund name from the Workspace pulldown menu.
