Creating Portfolio Templates: Step 1: Provide a Name and Description (For CIG Coordinators)

To give the template a name and description, access the Portfolios Templates tool and follow these steps:

1. If the Portfolio Templates home page is not displayed, click the Reset button.
2. In the Portfolio Templates menu bar near the top of the screen, click the Add button. Sakai displays the Add Portfolio Template, Step 1 of 4, screen.
3. Enter a name for this layout in the Name box.
4. If desired, enter a helpful description in the Description box for participants to use in selecting this template. This is especially useful if participants will have several options from which to choose.
5. Under Show within Portfolio Navigation, specify whether portfolios based on this template will display in the window from which they are accessed or in a new window. It is recommended that you choose No to display the portfolio in a new window. Options and results are as follows:

• Yes -- Portfolios based on this template will display in the window from which they are accessed. |
• No  -- Portfolios based on this template will display in a new browser window. |

To proceed, click Continue. Sakai displays the Build Template, Step 2 of 4, screen (see below). Or, to return to the Portfolio Templates home page without adding any of this information, click Cancel.
