Portfolio currently only fully supports the Symphony Web Services. It offers limited support for the Horizon Web Services.
Web Services provides a way for Portfolio to quickly and easily connect to a Symphony or Horizon ILS to share information. The web services can be used in Portfolio to provide authentication services and the ability to limit by availability. You can set up web service definitions for several ILS instances.
