  • Make sure that Capabilities are enabled in the Portfolio ( Settings > Platform > Portfolio Specific Configuration > select Portfolio > Enable Capabilities = Yes )

  • Create a program - the example is called "fedesolution3 (is a program)"

    • Fill in the "Solution" field with value 'YES'

    • Select a Portfolio

    • Finish to complete the fields requested for your configuration and Save the program (which creates a Solution)
