Getting the most out of My Portfolio

Why use My Portfolio?

New England Lab’s My Portfolio tool is a great new addition to the website. Here, anyone can set up their own portfolio simply by registering with an e-mail and password. You can also include information about yourself, your company and things you are looking for. Once registered, you can add or create projects that highlight specific images, resources, products or catalogs from our extensive online resource library. Keep track of the products that interest you, or test results for specific products, etc. My portfolio is a great way to keep yourself organized on our site, as well as keep us informed about your business and your laboratory needs.

What are projects?

While in My Portfolio, you have the option of creating or adding your own projects. Using our resource library you can add images, products, catalogs, etc to each project that you create. Are you looking to create a lab with wood veneer casework? Browse the prior projects we have completed and add images, etc to your own.  It is so simple to create your own project and to share with others! Invite others to join your project and browse together!
