Portfolio Structures

How can I add a journal as a required item within a new portfolio element?

This is a function which you may or may not want to attempt on your own. A strong understanding of portfolio structures if very helpful in trying to complete this function. Contact Foliotek Support if you require assistance or you would rather have us complete this process for you.

Once you have created your form, follow these steps:

  1. Click Portfolio Structures in left side menu
  2. Hover over the Actions menu next to the portfolio to which you wish to add the form
  3. Click View/Edit Portfolio Sections
  4. Hover over the Actions menu next to the section to which you wish to add the form
  5. Click View/Edit Elements
  6. Click +Add Element
  7. Give the new element a name and description in the appropriate text boxes
  8. Select who can view this portfolio element by clicking the radio button next to "All students" or, "Only students in groups:" (if you chose the latter, select which group(s) which would need to have access to the form in their portfolios)
  9. Select your choice for the maximum files a student can add to this element
  10. Make your selection for Sharing, Associating Standards, and Review Requests
  11. Choose whether or not to allow students the ability to hide this element from faculty
  12. Click OK
  13. Hover over the Actions menu next to the name of the element you just added
  14. Click View/Edit Required Forms and Journals
  15. Click +Add Required File
  16. Give the item (your journal) a name in the 'Name:' text box
  17. Select the type of file by clicking the radio button next to journal
  18. Click OK

After this process is complete, the journal has been created. Students in the specified groups will have the journal as an item within the specified portfolio element.
