This is where you will see your portfolios listed, allowing you to copy, delete or download a whole portfolio at once. You can also see which Departments you are listed in. Move your mouse over the image below to get help.
Departments
Before you can create a portfolio, you need to join at least one Department. When you choose a department, certain options are set for you depending on which one you choose. After you have joined one or more departments, you will then only see people and things that are relevant to the departments you have joined.
The 'Show All Departments' link generates the Department List, which includes all institutional departments that are using the system. The user's department affiliation is indicated by a checkmark in the 'Member' column. There is the option to 'List Only My Departments,' which returns you to the previous screen 'My Portfolios.'
Portfolios
View The 'View' icon takes you to the Edit Mode of your ePortfolio where you can make changes, share a page, or send it for assessment.
Copy This function allows you to copy an ePortfolio and rename the copy and is useful if you want to modify a portfolio that is based on another that you have. You may also choose another Theme for the new ePortfolio, and the new ePortfolio will contain the same linked artifacts. You are not able to alter the Table of Contents for the copied ePortfolio.
Delete You may only delete a portfolio that has not been assessed already- once it has been assessed, the Delete icon disappears. You can get this back if you want by checking the Deleted Portfolios in the Information section, further down the page.
Download Save a copy of your portfolio to your computer. Any links to other web sites will be maintained as links, so you will need to have internet access to see them. You'll get a zip file which has some folders and a load of files that make up your portfolio. When burning these to an autorunning CD, make sure that all the files (including autohtml.exe) are at the top level of the CD and not in a folder (but make sure that the Artfact and Images folders are kept at the top level of the CD, with all their files still in place inside )
Add New Portfolio The 'Add New Portfolio' link takes you to the 'Add Portfolio' screen where you can edit the name of the portfolio (the default is the user name), choose a Table of Contents, and choose a Theme.
Add Message The 'Add Message' link allows you to send messages to the folks on your 'Contact' list, manage your Contacts list, and 'Share' your ePortfolio on a secure web site.
Portfolio Name The name appears under the banner image at the top of your ePortfolio. You can choose a name when creating a new portfolio, or when editing it with the Edit Details button.
Table of Contents (TOC) The TOC you base your portfolio on will determine which sections and subsections are in your new portfolio by default, so choose carefully! If you are creating a portfolio for assessment purposes, you will usually be told which TOC to use. You can choose a TOC when creating a new portfolio, or when editing it with the Edit Details button.
Information
Portfolio Comments On the 'View Comments' page you may read and sort your received comments into folders.
Sharing Groups Create groups of other ePortfolio users to share sections of your portfolio with. You can see what pages you've shared with whom, and see if comments have been made.
Deleted Portfolios
Any portfolios you delete will not be permanently removed, but can be re-instated from here. If the delete button isn't available next to a portfolio you want to delete, then you have submitted a section of this portfolio for assessment and cannot delete it.
Used Storage space Shows you how much storage space has been used by the artifacts in your artifact library.
