Working
with Files |
Files
lists all of the files you have uploaded to your iWebfolio account.
Files are the portfolio artifacts created outside of iWebfolio and
attached to iWebfolio. Any type of digital file may be used as a
portfolio artifact. For example, a portfolio owner may create a resume
in a word processing application and attach the existing text file to a
portfolio created in iWebfolio. Other examples of digital files include
various photo formats (jpeg, tiff, pict, etc.), pdf files, sound files
and video clips.
To attach a file, owners are
prompted to browse their computer's hard drive or other storage device
in order to upload a copy of the file. That copy is stored within
iWebfolio in the owner's Files
tab in the desired folder.
The
Resource Center
— available from the footer of each page in iWebfolio — provides links
to websites where applications used to open and view many types of file
formats are available.
