Ports in NI Requirements Gateway

I'm starting to use NIT Requirements Gateway, and I've come across 'ports' on p37-38 of the User Manual, but there is no help on ports.  I have no idea how to create/use one.  I think they're used when dealing with folders, but I don't see how to create/use.  Any suggestions?

Ports are used to link documents from inside of a folder to outside of the folder.  They are automatically created when you create a covering link between a folder and a document.  In the most basic case, create a document and a folder in the project.  Draw a link from the document to the folder.  Navigate inside the folder, and notice that you now have a port into the folder.  If you reverse the arrow in the top-level of the project, you will notice that a port will open toward the covering document.
