Understanding 'My Items' in ePortfolio

"My Items" consolidates all of your artifacts, reflections, presentations, and collections into a single view, enabling you to view, search, and manage all of your content from one location. From the My Items page you can:

• Add ePortfolio content by clicking the New or Upload buttons
• Bulk add items to a presentation or collection from the action bar
• Perform common actions on your ePortfolio items, such as view, preview (image and HTML file artifacts only), edit, copy (presentations only), delete, and share

Your ePortfolio items display in a list that you can sort by name or date edited, ascending or descending. Filters at the top of the list enable you to search and manage specific sets of content; you can filter by item type or sharing status.

Once you share items with others and they provide comments or rubric assessments, icons that represent this activity appear beside your items in the My Items listing.

You can click on these icons to view details about which individuals or groups you are sharing an item with or review comments and rubric assessments made on that item.

Clicking on the sharing group icon or individual icon opens that item's Sharing Settings dialog. From here you can modify who can access your item.

Clicking on the feedback icon opens an item's View page where you can review comments from others.
